PUZZLE #284: Lucky Sevens 9

PUZZLE #284
LUCKY SEVENS 9

Stacked together below are seven Sevens made up of 7 squares each. The answers to each Seven start in their respectively numbered squares and continue along its path surrounded by a bold outline, going right and then down. Meanwhile, the answers to the Rows go straight across the grid, including those with only one or two letters in them.

Once you've filled in the grid, the letters in the colored squares (in the order of the Sevens that they appear in, starting with the Seven marked with a 1) will spell out this week's FINAL ANSWER: An electronic device from the 2000s


ROWS
i) It's all relatives
ii) Banana _____ (yellow gastropod)
iii) Giant rock slab with limbs from Super Mario 64
iv) Obi-Wan's surname
v) Tot's enclosure, like the one that the Rugrats frequently escape from
vi) Like some seating in outdoor stadiums: 2 wds.
vii) Where an Army private goes to do their private business?
viii) Actors McDiarmid and McKellen
ix) Business conference: Abbr.
x) lowercase poet cummings
xi) Letter on Clark Kent's chest

SEVENS
1) California's largest newspaper: 2 wds.
2) Perform an appendectomy, perhaps
3) Using a woodworking tool to smooth surfaces
4) Residents of Mombasa
5) Type of "cushion" that produces a farting noise: Var.
6) The _____ Party Massacre ('80s slasher film set at a sleepover)
7) Bulky crime lord from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for two versions you can print out: a .PNG and a link to a .PDF!
