OK, we're probably at about the 30 day countdown (or less) for the release of 2013 (or whatever "non-13-containing" name it might have)

Let's get some CHATTER going team! Throw some gasoline on the fire of our collective lust for the latest greatest software!

Your whole life long people have given you Christmas gifts that end up in a yard sale or landfill. Spread the word among family and friends that this is one gift you'll actually use!

It doesn't matter if you're unemployed, retired, on a fixed income, whatever. It's Christmas time, and somebody else who loves you has money. And they are planning to give you SOMETHING.

If it's too expensive for one person, you can tell the wife, kids, brothers, sisters etc to all pitch in whatever they would have spent on some crappy little unwanted gift in order to get the one big holy cow I love this more than life itself gift you really want. (I've done this. They're usually happy to be off the hook for having to decide what to get you)

On Dec 25th, I plan to start a thread dedicated to collecting stories about how people got BIAB without having to spend their own money. I want to hear some real creative ones.

I plan to stand at a busy intersection with a sign that says "will work for BIAB"
(Its too cold to camp out in the PGMusic parking lot this time of year)
