OK Jim, where'd you get it that cheap?

Every year for the last 4 years I've been hashing out around $1800 for MSDN
Universal but this year I broke the habit. My disk collection has now
stopped growing at exponential rates ;o)

For $800-900 I would do it again though.

What's an Action Pack and how much is it?
