Boy oh boy, did we all have a good laugh when Steve unveiled the Macbook Air, pulling from inside a manila envelope! Oh my, yes! We laughed and we laughed!

Admit it, your parties suck. What you need is a 5-foot tall, 12-pound inflatable BoomBox to kick your party into high gear. Too bad no one has thought to capitalize on this un-catered to market… UNTIL NOW, THAT IS!
