I actually downgraded from GIMP 2.8 back to 2.6 after installing 2.8 on my new computer and discovering how badly they'd screwed up saving files (I had 2.6 on my old computer). And in 2.8 even when I do use their alternate dialog to save as .PNG or whatever, the stupid thing still insists that I haven't saved the file when I try to close it, even though I /just did/.

Could go back to refrigerators more like the old GE Monitor Top ones (some of which are still working since the late '20s and '30s). Not much in the way of high-tech polymers - they're insulated with corrugated cardboard and used refrigerants like Sulfur Dioxide or Methyl Formate. Or for a more modern refrigerator, if all it needs is recharged, in a pinch find a tank of propane - a.k.a. R290. For the motors, I'm sure someone could rewind it if needed with wire scavenged from bigger, less useful motors.

Well, if you don't have any use for the self-destructed Roombas, I could probably find something fun to do with them... How much do you think shipping to 46383 would cost? (Whatever the cheapest method is, of course. Usually USPS, but I suppose it could be UPS.)
