Being able to use your computer in a variety of places is a necessity for many people. But should you have to sacrifice your mouse’s functionality and ability for the convenience of using your computer in places other than a desk or table? Our client is excited to announce that they have a mouse that will be able to solve this dilemma!

Our client has designed a innovative mouse that works on almost every surface. It is also very sleek and compact, as well as possessing other interesting and cutting-edge features.

Centercode is looking for test participants who use their computer and mouse in many different places and surfaces. If you are unhappy with your mouse’s response on couches, glass tables, and even desks and tables, then this is the test for you! You need to have an available USB port to use this mouse.

If you fit the above description, please apply for this opportunity. Please remember that volunteering for a beta test involves a time commitment and a mandate to keep the product's details secret. If you are unwilling to commit to both of these requirements, please do not apply for the project.

Required Qualifications

Windows XP/Vista or Mac 10.5 or higher operating systems
Available USB port

Optional Qualifications
Glass table for testing purposes

Incentives
Participants in Centercode projects get the opportunity to see new products before anyone else. Actively engaged participants have the chance to help improve the quality of a product, learn from the experience and meet like minded people in their area of interest. They also can earn a chance to test on other projects.
In addition to these benefits, our top performers (really active and engaged participants) have a chance to earn incentives which can include a sample product, gift certificates or other great stuff.

Post Trail Mix Crunch Cereal is on sale this week for $2.50/box at Walgreens. Use the $2/1 coupon here and you'll get the boxes for $0.50 each--which is a great deal in and of itself. But wait, that's not all!

There are numerous reports of folks also getting a Register Reward when buying three or more boxes. And here's what it looks like this unadvertised Register Reward deal is:

Buy 3 boxes of Post Trail Mix Crunch Cereal, Get $2 Register Rewards
Buy 4 boxes, Get $3 Register Rewards
Buy 5 or more boxes, Get $5 Register Rewards

So, if you're able to print more than 2 of the $2/1 coupons, you can get the cereal for free after the coupons and Register Reward. And if you are able to get a hold of five coupons, it can be a nice little money-maker after the coupons and Register Rewards.

Borrowed from MSM...thanks!

Note: I was able to print 2 in IE and one in Firefox, so if you're having problems try a different browser.

Don't forget to get your free ice cream on Tuesday! See my original post here for details.
