Who says there are no jobs in robotics? That's hogwash. The industry is currently in the explosive growth phase, with Future Combat Systems, PackBots, Roombas, Scoobas and Pleos taking over.
iRobot alone has about 40 job openings as we speak: http://robotstocknews.blogspot.com/2006/06/irobot- corporation-on-hiring-binge.html/ and many of their employees have become millionaires with the company's IPO.

Dozens of Scooba reviews, videos and analysis are available on http://robotstocknews.blogspot.com/ -- a blog all about iRobot.
Most reviews have been glowing, although Consumer Reports oddly prefers mopping -- maybe they have a penchant for "Sweatin' to the Oldies"? http://robotstocknews.blogspot.com/2006/03/consume r-reports-gives-thumbs-down-for.html
Given that Scooba has now been discounted to as little as $249, there's no reason not to give it a try.
Scooba is about saving time and having a cleaner house at the same time. If you use it 40 times a year (and some use it much, much more often), you would save yourself perhaps 20 hours of hard labor. If you value your time at more than about $15 an hour (I know I do) it pays for itself in one year. Two years, $7.50 an hour. Lifetime guaranteed Scooba? Priceless.
FYI, you don't have to use the Scooba solution (which is about 20-40 cents per use depending on where you buy it). You can use diluted vinegar as well, if you can stand the smell...
