When upgrading to BIAB 2014 (I'm considering the EverythingPak with the USB Hard Drive...), does the new version still come with a fully printed manual like 2012 did?

Also, according to the PGMusic site, the EverythingPak includes the "Video Tutorial Pak" and the "MIDI Songs and Lesson Pak". Do these packs include everything listed on the page when you click on them (near the bottom of this page) here? In other words, for example, are the "BIAB for Bozos" videos part of the "Video Tutorial Pack"? And is the entire list of MIDI Songs and Lessons, that normally sell for $99, included with the EverythingPak?

Thanks!

Usually, no. In recent years the manual is included as a .pdf only, and of course, the help files. I do believe the printed manual is made available a little later at a reasonable cost.

Thanks, Kelso. I guess that was wishful thinking, as most software these days no longer includes a printed manual. It certainly was a nice inclusion with BIAB 2012.

I added a few other questions to my original post. I hope someone can provide clarification on those remaining questions. If the answer to them is YES, that really would be a GREAT deal.

Thanks.

Now that you mentioned it, I want to amend my previous - I think if you are a first-timer, the printed manual is included. It was for a friend that bought 2013 as a first-timer.

Nope -- I'm not a first-timer. I'd be upgrading from 2012.
