i want it for the cleaning potential (i would need the super heavy-duty cat-hair killer version) and also for the interesting technology potential (not that i would probably hack it at all. i just like knowing i could, if i wanted to). |
One that would also pick up water from leaking windows?

(hm... maybe we should start a campaign to bring back thee and thou !!!)
