    There are some things that just don't need mp3 playback capability.

    but DAMN, 119 megs of music (and dictionary?) awesome. I would just delete all the words and get 119 mb of women moaning.

    Just put that on an SD card.

    Because damn it, it has a cross word puzzle solver on it.

    I could have sworn that was $99.99 when it went up, now it's listed as $19.99.

    I hadn't even notice the price changed to $19.99 until you said something, so you're not crazy.

    You are correct, it was 99.99. Now it doesnt seem like a bad thing.

    Meh. For $19.99 it might actually be worth it. It would save me trips to dictionary.com. Plus I could listen to rad tunes while I looked up antidisestablishmentarianism.

    Holy shit. That's actually in the Firefox spell-checker dictionary.

    Whew, glad I didn't miss much since last night. Although I probably would have snagged that Video Card earlier if I'd been online to do it. I've been looking to get a new Video Card, so hopefully another one will come up tonight sometime.

    It'll probably be mostly Roombas though.

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually considering getting one of those umbrellas. I need a good one that won't flip inside-out on me on a windy day. Grr, stupid Woot, making me want to buy dumb crap...

    Edit - Holy Moly, that sold out fast.

    I bet a lot of the buyers thought there would be a Bag of Crap immediately following.

    Instead they get the 3rd or 4th nav system of the Woot-Off!

    Their word replacement system makes it even worse. It is like some moon language.

    At 2GB you're better off looking for a flash memory player than a HDD one.

    What is the difference? Size? Weight? Seek time?

    Hard disks are not nearly as rugged as flash memory. I think they have a faster failure rate then flash memory.

    MTBF is lower on hard disks as far as what I've seen on personal experience. I'm not sure flash memory even has a MTBF

    For each unique type of item, yes. If you buy 3 of something, you only pay the shipping for one. If you buy one of something and one of something else, you pay shipping twice.

    By the way, for people curious about what actually comes in the Bags of Crap, check out this site to see a variety of BOCs various users have received. Some pretty interesting stuff in there.

    I want to see it in action first, though. You are limited to 3 purchases a day, and people always save 1 for the BOC they will never win.

    Wait, is the limit three seperate purchases or just 3 per item?
