OK, funny post but for a real "tech" need... We're planning for a little holiday office party and want to rent a karaoke machine -- not one of those one-piece "Sears machines" (any Zappa fans out there?) with scratched-up CDs, dirty pots and a ripped speaker cone... a real one with thousands of songs stored on an internal hard drive with a decent mic and a kick-ass sound system. We got one last year from Taylor Rental and, although we did have fun, it blew. The sound was lame and the few songs available were limited to those released prior to 1989. I mean, I've got nothing against Love Shack and White Wedding per say, it's just that I can't bear the thought of hearing (or seeing) my coworkers hack their way through them on one-too-many drams of nog EVER AGAIN. So, if any of you have any suggestions for where we may find such a modern marvel representing the merger of sophisticated technology, cheesy pop songs and drinking games, all of us at MSR would really appreciate it. We've inquired at all the Taylor/Northampton Rental-type places and the party stores from here to Springfield, but all can only offer us the toy-like models. Thanks in advance for your assistance regarding this pressing matter. As Crocker's mail servers seem to be down (at least the one handing our email accounts), please reply to all so I can get your responses through my Yahoo account. Happy Holidays!
