Buying a new PC or laptop can be exciting, but setting it up for use, and keeping it working smoothly can be quite a pain. There’s the primary concern of installing software to secure your machine and protect it against viruses and Trojans, but at the same time, the pre-loaded software that it came bundled with could end up becoming quite a hassle.
The solution? Jumpshot. It’s an all-in-one piece of software that provides fixes to specific problems you may encounter with your computer, and it does so with the introduction of a variety of lovable characters that target certain problems:
Its developers are offering up Jumpshot pre-loaded into a series of adorably designed USB drives (with pop-out spring-loaded connectors when you press their bellies!) based on these very characters.
The project is currently up on Kickstarter, and while it will run for over one more month, it has already managed to raise over $65,000 in excess of its target goal.
A minimum pledge of $35(USD) will get you one specially-designed 8GB USB flash drive that will be pre-loaded with Jumpshot.
