If you read Al's release notes, there is a clear outline of his diabolical plan: (1) create Fractool (2) embed virus (3) use virus to assimilate army of Roombas (4) total global domination. Bonus: clean sidewalks. Second bonus: a global army of cats will arise, riding Roombas as troop carriers. Because cats are territorial, they will eventually break into factions, with all disputes settled via Roomba jousting. This will become a huge revenue source for Fractal-using musicians who will provide theme songs for famous cat jousters, which in turn drives revenue back to Al because we will need his utilities to keep the music flowing. This is the way empires work. Except in Star Wars.
