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?
