Puzzler — maybe solved?

I’ve been thinking a little bit more about this MacUpdate Promo deal that came up a few days ago, and I realize that there’s something I should’ve considered that I haven’t thought of before: macZOT has been sucking recently. I loved the woot.com-style “one day-one deal” thing, and when the mysteries had hints that were guessable but tricky, they were acceptable. But they’ve been doing these 5-day long things, and sneaking repeats in mysteryZOTs and all this other stuff that is sort of cute when it’s rare but gets really old really fast. So if MacUpdate does what macZOT used to do and now fails to, I’m in.
