Ready. 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.

Looking for a high-quality, spill-resistant, full-size 104-key USB keyboard that works with pretty much any recent model computer? How much would you pay? $20? $30? What if the keys were printed in high-contrast black-on-green, with incredibly easy-to-read oversize letters? $50? $60?
What if the dagnabbed thing glowed in the dark?
Well, this week, you can get such a keyboard, which normally retails for $49.99, for an almost criminally cheap $9.99. Find out all about this week’s DOTW here.

Since Microsoft rolled it out last fall, we’ve seen a lot of customers struggling with the transition to Windows 8. It’s a big departure from earlier versions of Windows, with a far steeper learning curve. That being said, Windows 8 is a powerful, secure, and flexible OS, one well worth getting to know – and master.
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.

Next time you’re called upon to access the innards of your kid’s toy, tighten your spouse’s eyeglass frames, or disarm an errant nuclear device, be prepared.
Nothing strips screwheads faster than the wrong driver for the job. Try to “make do” with one of your standard-sized screwdrivers, and disaster looms. So pick up this precision driver set, and pick it up cheap. Because this week, it’ll set you back a laughable 10 bucks. Think about it: a potentially world-saving toolkit for the price of a couple lattés. Easy choice.
Follow the thread of this discussion here.

All four iMac models are in stock at Connecting Point.
Since their introduction last fall, Apple’s stunning, ultra-slim iMac family has been in extremely short supply. Right now, if you wanted to order a 21.5-inch iMac from the Apple’s online store, you’d see this:
Even worse, if you wanted a sleek new 27-inch iMac, here’s how long you’d have to wait:
Miraculously, if you came into either of Connecting Point’s store locations for one of the new iMacs, you’d walk out the door with one right now. As in, immediately.
We’ve got plentiful stock of all four main models, ready for a good home. (Or office.) The product is identical, the price is the same. And the service and support you get from Connecting Point is not only excellent, it’s also free…and for life. So give in to that very human need for instant gratification: Get a new iMac, instantly, from your local Apple Specialist, Connecting Point Computer Centers.
UPDATE 02.20.13 | 12:30 PM: Well, that happened fast. Our Bend store now has only the $1299.99 model 21.5-inch iMac and the $1799.99 27-inch iMac in stock. We are expecting shipments of the other two models to be arriving shortly.
UPDATE 03.03.13 | 12:55 PM: Looks like Apple’s online store is finally catching up with iMac demand. Both sizes appear to be shipping within one to three days. But if we may again point out the obvious: the price is the same, the tech support is for life – and you can have it right here, right now by getting your new iMac from the friendly folks at Connecting Point.

This weekend is a great time to pick up that new Mac desktop or notebook you’ve been dreaming about. You’ll save folding “presidents” on nearly every model, especially if you bundle other goodies with it. And we’ve got on-the-spot financing available (o.a.c.) that gives you six months deferred interest. It has never been easier or more affordable to get a new Mac from Connecting Point.
UPDATED 02.19.13: This promotion has now ended. Thanks to everyone who helped make it a huge success!
