'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The pink and red ROOMBAS are the same, but the sage ROOMBA has one -- count them, one -- extra feature. Dummies.
Confusing product lines reduce customers' willingness to buy. Seriously. If you put out jam for tasting, people will buy a lot more jam when choosing between three samples than when choosing between ten. They taste all ten, then give up and go away.
What's your take on Skynet, Gud?
Personally (and no offence) I think our current best chances for a rogue AI will either come out of google projects mating in the dark, or all the Linux distros banding together.
Judging from the number of dots on the product comparison page, the Scheduler looks like the best one.
I keep wanting to add an m to the Scooba. Scoomba. Roomba Scoomba.
I could even use the Scooba on the strip of living room not covered by the carpet, thanks to the fake wall thingy-do. That's hot.
There are SIX Roombas?? My god, how are you supposed to choose?
By colour, obviously. Pink. Or possibly red.

JERUSALEM, Jan. 4-- Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was rushed to Hadassah University Hospital due to cardiac condition late Wednesday, his office and Channel 10 TV said.
Okay, it's really bad to whoop at the thought of another person maybe dying. Sorry. And I suppose it's conceivable that they might find someone even more evil to replace him with. The Emperor, or Voldemort, or Sauron, or somebody.

Didn't he have a mini-stroke last week?
I don't remember where I read less than great things about the Scheduler, but I think I have.
Of course, sometimes I make things up too.

Not according to the product comparison page. The red charges 7 hours (all the rest charge 3, including the pink), and the red doesn't have a Max cleaning mode. The Sage is Pink + wall mount unit.

But is it more different than just having the scheduling capability? Cause i"m not sure I'd want to pay a bunch extra for that. OTOH, if they increased the sucking power or capacity or whatever, then I'll probably just suck it up.
I have a Discovery (reconditioned, yay!). My understanding is that the first generation didn't work as well, but the current crop are all the same under the hood -- just with wildly varying accessories to make up the price difference.
I haven't yet found myself wanting the scheduling feature (to which I could upgrade if I really felt crazy), but the thing where it goes back to its wee home base when the battery runs low is the coolest thing evar.
