My introduction to BIAB was a bit bizarre. I didn't have any PRN radiology techs on staff in the TB clinic, so I had to rely on a temp manpower company to provide techs when my radiology tech called in sick or was on vacation. My tech took a 2 week vacation, and when she came back she found that the temp had downloaded a bunch of WAREZ that had infected the radiology department's main PC with a virus. Our IT department was less than helpful in getting the virus removed, so I stayed after work and tried to remove the virus and identify the source of infection.

Turned out that the temp radiology tech was a part time musician and had downloaded a folder with several pirated versions of music software including BIAB 11 which was all MIDI at the time. Not being familiar with the program, I took a copy off the infected computer and took it back to my studio to see what it was. Impressed with what it sounded like through my Yamaha keyboard, and discovering that I could export MIDI from it and use it in Cakewalk, I looked the company up online and purchased version 12. I think at the time the PG Music was offering free demo downloads of their software so I'm not sure why the software Pirates were packaging it together with their Pirated stuff.

I fired the temp.
