What is it and how can we use it to our advantage?

Description: Check for black Mini 9's at the Dell Outlet

It's a ruby script to search the Dell Outlet for Minis matching certain price, color and other attributes.

How does one run a ruby script? (on a Mac)

LOL!


I have one, too. Sort of.
It's at work.
It runs OS 8.6.
The boss wondered aloud what it would fetch on eBay.

To run the ruby script, you'll need to jump into Terminal, download the script and probably install a few "gems," edit the script in a text editor, and possibly type
%>ruby ./scriptname.rb

If I were so inclined (and not presently at work), I'd try it out.
Maybe later.
