Bummer. ...

Quick! There’s an impromptu Foreigner concert going down three blocks over and they need a keyboardist! Not just any keyboardist, but one with just the right amount of pizzaz! That’s why I recommended you. You just pre-ordered that VAX77 synthesizer that folds in half for easy travel, right? Excellent. I hear it even can do MIDI. Now let’s get you ...

I have to hand it to Macheist for really upping the ante this year. Normally, they’ll give away 10 or so solid applications for OS X in a bundle for around $20 to $50.
