Where the heck do I go to learn what the heck a woot-off is, and to learn how to participate?

Woot is a site that offers "One deal one day" normally for technology products. They update once a day, at 12:00 Central time, so those of us on the west coast are often up till 1:00am in hopes of a "Random Crap", which is often called a BOC or Bag of Crap . (There are other brands of "Woot" wine,shirt, and sellout.) Sometimes they vary from technology products but not that often, it happens during the woot-offs sometimes for some type of nut.

Once in a while, they will create an event called a woot-off, which is where they forget their "One deal one day" slogan and offer a new deal as soon as the previous one sells out. These sales can last anywhere from 12 to 72 hours, often ending in a novelty item.

Sometimes they throw in a "BOC" which is a 1 dollar mystery item, that can range from a plastic drink bottle to very fancy flat screen TVs.

You can find out more on their site, www.woot.com

The alienware one? That's what you pay for shielded cables. Kinda like the ones that run/ran the OI receivers on the menorah alongside the field.

Good quality costs money. Go figure.

Nothing great worth buying/mentioning yet.
Still waiting for something good.

OK prepare for the good stuff, I have to leave my computer now.

Guess I'll catch up on what I'm missing out on....

Nope, but you can check here to see if you've missed it. It will show you everything that has been up.
