Default WOOT OFF...

http://www.woot.com/

I see some orange flashing lights on the main page – what do they mean?
No, you aren't seeing a side effect from your allergy medication. You have found a Woot-Off, a short term frenzied mutation of our product posting procedure. In Woot-Off mode, a new product is launched immediately after the sellout of the previous deal. There is a half-Woot-life of 12 hours maximum on any product within a Woot-Off that does not sell out. The number of Woot-Off items, sequence, and quantity will not be announced. When Woot-Off mode is over, the orange lights will disappear and our normal schedule will resume. Depending on its success, this may be a mode we would go into once or twice a month for a relatively short duration of time (24-72 hours generally.)

They've had some really lame **** today, and some OK stuff. I was tempted twice, but didn't bite.

What really BITES is the lame **** takes too long to go. :(

the e250 is gone but I'd still like to know the answer if there is one.
Thanks.
