Woot off alert.

Annd, It's still going on.
Earlier I picked up 3 of the PS/2 keyboard for a buck each. Mine are missing random keys, and that woot was cheaper than going to the salvation army.
There were a couple of decent items the printer network server thing comes to mind. There were also a couple of 'decent' older computers 1.8 dual Intel, 2.4 single core intel, 1-2 Gb ram, 320 Gb HDD. Weak for most people here, but decent for a home computer.
I installed ReloadEvery in my firefoxportable and stuck it in the computer at my work, we were watching it all last night, from 6-11. I got someone else addicted to checking woot.

Here are the top items the I think they've had so far. I wish I'd of had the cash for those ultra mobile PCs. It's something I would have loved to play with. Or at least enough to buy a mouse, but I can't justify spending that much on a mouse - cause I'm cheap.

HEY!
They've got the Samsung Q1 up again, but it costs $70 more!
IS this one upgraded or something?


Hey!
Does anyone use anything like Wootwatcher?
Is there a good linux program for watching woot?


WTF?
IS this the REwoot? I've seen two of the last three items already, they were on yesterday. - Wireless digital photot frame and the samsung wireless.

(I've edited this about 7 times now)

In another attempt to continue talking to myself about the WOTO off,

ATHENA SPEAKERS $90 (new)
Great Buy! - Google show the CHEAPEST at 95+shipping, the next up is 120 and 170. So if you want really expensive speakers these are great!

I just realized that the guy started it at 1am, it was going on yesterday MORNING too, around 10am. It seems like this one will last a while.


Why I love WOOT; their descriptions.


Stand Up Against Ace-ism

It could be any house on any street in any town in America. It looks like the very picture of happiness and tranquility. But what’s that sound we hear? Is it the gentle sobbing of a computer in despair? Look closer, now…there, on the desk…no, the other desk, upstairs…yeah, that one…it’s the Acer Aspire T180-UA380B Desktop Computer. What could drive such a well-equipped PC to such depths of heartbreak? What would a computer with a 160GB SATA hard drive, AMD Athon 64 3800+ 2.4GHz processor, and dual-layer DVD burner possibly have to cry about? She’s crying because she can never let anyone know…her terrible secret!
It’s not just that she was refurbished. There are a few other refurbished computers in her circle of friends, and they’re accepted as one of the gang. No, the Acer Aspire T180-UA380B’s problem is more complicated than that. She’s burdened with Windows Vista, but lacks the optimal hardware to handle it! Her 1GB ram and integrated graphics card are simply not up to the task of running her own operating system! Oh, the shame, the shame! And her friends – if they knew…
But there is hope. That hope is you. The Acer Aspire T180-UA380B needs someone who will make her whole again, who will put a decent video card into her PCI-E slot and restore her dignity, the dignity that her defects have robbed her of. Will you be one of the jeering know-nothings, the narrow minds, the quietly prim and proper bigots who kill with whispers? Or will you follow the Golden Rule and love the Acer Aspire T180-UA380B as you love yourself?

You aren't missing much, it was an Acer desktop pc with an AMD 3400+ I think with 1 gig of ram. Not a proud machine to be sure. It was just over $200 with $5.00 shipping.
 
Nevermind, I had ReloadEvey on for the las 6 hours, refreshing every minute, I guess Woot decided that I overloaded them and gave me an error.
It's working now.

The site is down for me :shrug:
