Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't have a Roomba, meara, but I've researched them, and yeah, you do need separate ones for vacuuming and mopping, if you want both tasks.

DIY Roomba battery replacement: HOW TO - iRobot dead cell battery fix
Obviously, I don't want to pay for anything. This morning I took apart the battery pack in the Dirt Dog vacuum cleaner. After about 30 minutes of cutting, sawing, and taping I had a battery pack that was performing like a new one. Now instead of getting 10 minutes of lousy vacuuming I get over a hour of powerful cleaning. This saved about $60 which is the cost of buying a new replacement pack from iRobot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It would probably cost me as much (more if you count ripped out hair) to fix the battery as to replace it.

After posting that, I discovered the guy was talking about replacing a single bad cell in the battery pack, which I suppose is where all the savings comes in (as opposed to replacing the entire pack).
Of course, soldering would be required. (One of these days I'll be good at that.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
How much of a pain is it going from previous versions of Word to Word 2007? Is it incredibly difficult to view older documents? To save older documents so they can still be read by older versions? (Keep in mind that we're talking the level of difficulty for my parents, rather than me.)

I think that you can set it to automatically save documents in .doc format, as opposed to .docx.

I have already received a number of documents that I can't read. This is from both professors and authors. Both of whom I put on par with parents in terms of computer literacy.

Is it even possible to still buy older versions of office? Retail, I mean, not used.

You should be able to save files in earlier formats. Word 2007 is a bitch to work with.
