Every year I say to myself, "I'm gonna skip this year and not buy BIAB." But those guys at PG always add some cool feature that I can really use on a gig and there I am opening my wallet again. Not that I really mind. Of all the stuff that I have to pay for through out the year this is one purchase that I will gladly make. Crack In A Box (CIAB) user Jakob signing off!

There's always something that makes it a 'must have' upgrade. If it isn't program features it's a RT or two. BiaB 2013 b366, RB 2013 b4, WinXP Pro SP3, Toshiba M70, 1.8GHz 2GB RAM 100GB HD.

Then it happens that overwhelming need to have it! What do you mean? Not a tremble in my finger until after I hit the "Order" button... Me, an addict? I can't even remember the first version of BIAB that I purchased! I think it was 7, or was it 8? I remember the awesome BIAB 12 upgrade (it was a very good year)...ah, who cares? Once again, my one gift under the tree... Way to go, Peter and company...Merry Christmas, and a very Merry Christmas it shall be! Joel

I used to be a BIAB addict like you, but then I took an arrow in the knee. (Skyrim joke.) Okay, the DVDs are worse than the hard drive. Man, BIAB is seriously cutting into my World of Warcraft time. Hi. I'm Tom, and I'm a BIAB addict. What's that big yellow thing up there? The one that's not an alert box.
