Deal of the Week | Mar. 15, 2013: USB Circus Cannon with Three Rockets, Circus Net for $7.99

USB Circus Cannon with three rockets and circus netReady. Aim. Fire!

Most of the time, our DOTWs are geared toward helping you get things done faster, or better, or cleaner. They’re productivity aids or device enhancements – aiming to help you and your computer be all you can be.

Not this week. This week, we’re bringing you a small, gaudily-colored circus cannon that plugs into your USB port. A circus cannon you can aim and fire using your keyboard, your mouse, or (if you have one) your joystick. It fires three foam-tipped rockets up to 10 feet, at velocities exceeding what you might reasonably expect. And it serves absolutely no useful purpose, other than having fun.

And that’s OK.

Find out all about it here.

To help with that, we’ve added a new “wing” to our website: a Windows 8 Resource Center, with FAQs, upgrade prices, system requirements, along with links to useful articles and tutorials. Don’t put off learning Window 8 any longer – check out our Windows 8 Resource Center today.
