Toys in the Office
As I had commented before, I have a USB missile launcher in the office. I first noticed them a few years ago but not only were they unavailable (it was around Christmas), they were unavailable only in England. A few months later they were back in stock, and I had to buy two to justify the excessive shipping cost. One for the office, and one for home.
My attempt to attach a USB webcam was thwarted, because both devices want a direct connection to the computer and I don’t have enough ports to do that and connect the things I need to actually function at my job. Such a sacrifice . . .

Typically they don’t need to be connected directly to the computer but rather you need to use a powered USB hub, because these devices are drawing their power from the USB cable the cheap USB splitters/hubs won’t work.
