MysteryZOT on MacZOT.com April 7, 2006
It had to happen eventually. I mean, I am the biggest sucker for a sale/deal I know, so of course it was going to happen. And it happened today!
I BOUGHT INTO THE HYPE THAT IS MacZOT.com!
If you’re unfamiliar with Mac Zot, I can best explain it by saying it is like woot.com, except they only offer Mac software. And if you’re unfamiliar with woot.com, I guess I’ll explain it by saying they offer one product each day for 24 hours or until that product is sold out. At least that’s how it worked a few months ago before I stopped going there every morning. FIrst I got upset because the Neuros MPEG-4 recorder I got from woot.com wasn’t nearly as awesome as I felt it had been billed on the site. And then I was unemployed for a week and then my start date at my new (old) job (where I make 15% less money!) was pushed back another week thanks to Hurricane Wilma, and I’ve pretty much been too broke to buy anything from woot.com and I didn’t want to be tempted. But enough for that tangent… back to today’s offering on MacZOT.com!
…so I woke up this morning and I was somewhat excited to see what macZOT.com had for today. I was initially a little bummed to find that it was just a continuation of the “MyzteryZOT” they offered the day before, but then I noticed that they had sweetened the deal a bit. (the value went form $60 to $74.) I told myself that if I had enough money in my paypal account I would get it. I had less than 4 of the required 15 dollars, but pondered making the purchase anyway. The thing about the “MyzteryZOT” is that you don’t even know what you’re buying until after you’ve bought it. It’s a “grab-bag” type thing. I thought back to the software that had been offered in the previous weeks and decided that the odds of me getting software that I wanted or didn’t already own were pretty slim and decided to not buy.
Fast forward to me being bored at home after work and I get an email from MacZOT saying the value of the MyzteryZOT is now at $131.85! I couldn’t resist, and now, $15 later, I am moist with anticipation to see what exactly I just bought!
If you’re a Mac user (hopefully you’re up to date with Mac OS X 10.4.6) I implore you to head on over to MacZOT.com and pick up today’s MyzteryZOT! I believe the offer is only good until somewhere around midnight tonight on the West coast.
