Sooooo Close.
Well, government and horseshoes close, anyways.
Woot‘s been bragging about it’s meteoric rise in popularity lately, and rightfully so. As a sort of thank you to it’s earliest customers, they went and declared the first 5000 distinct purchasers as Charter Members. I ordered from w00t early on, and was hoping that I’d make that glorious cut.
Alas, it was not to be. As Woot divulged today, the 5000th customer made their purchase as order number 10017253. I did some back-tracking today, and my first order from Woot was 10098083.
80830 orders after the cut-off.
Soooo close. I wish there I’d at least get a Monkey Prize or something.

Man, I feel your pain. If I had a monkey prize, I’d send it to you.
