I Need to Stop Doing macZOT

macZOT is a nifty idea for a site. What they do is review popular apps for Mac and give you a hell of a deal on a license. Every now and then they do something crazy, like the blogZOT, which scored me a free copy of AppZapper. Another thing they often do is the MysteryZOTs. A collection of three or four programs that do various things. You don’t know what they are. You only know that they are collectively worth so much money, and you only have to pay a little bit, usually less than 10 bucks. And this is where I get boned. Every time I think, “Oh wow, 40 bucks worth of programs, for only 4 bucks? That’s worth it.” And then I get stuff I absolutely don’t need. But I paid for them, so I feel bad not downloading the apps. And they just sit there. Most of them are things that you think could be useful in a certain situation. But it turns out that certain situation never comes up. The only remotely useful app I ever got was Direct Mail, for if I ever decide to start a mailing list. xPad seems like a cool TextEdit replacement, but offered little that I needed that TextEdit didn’t already have, and their website is unavailable for an unknown reason. Perhaps they recieved a cease and desist from Xpad, the laptop cooling device. So, so far, I’ve spent about twenty bucks on these, and recieved crap. Maybe next time though… That’s when I’ll get lucky and get something cool.
