Cubase 5 upgrade - it added lots of features I wanted (some of which are not available in Live such as Variaudio and the excellent Reverence convolution reverb ) and the upgrade from 2 generations back of Cubase was not only $79 dollars cheaper than upgrading 1 generation (Live 7 Suite to Live 8 Suite), it also took my status from educational to full retail (Ableton only consider you as full retail after THREE upgrades from an educational license).

Sonalksis MultiLimit and later, the DQ-1 dynamic equalizer which cost me $49 instead of $249 after 70% off regular price and a further 50% off with educational discount.

All done before I was laid off and broke. Now just watch the local shops have amazing blow out deals on Boxing Day and I don't have money to buy bread and milk :( Bugger !

Two things. My ice cream making machine and pasta making machine. Homemade is the way to go.

Dell 2209WA - Really great monitor for the price. Convinced me that I'll never need to buy an over priced Apple Cinema Display again.

Let me translate that to American for you:

I would second the Microwave XT and Alchemy posts, I own and love both. Although I would choose the hardware over the software, sorry Camel.

Alchemy I bought this year, but I can't call it my best purchase. It comes a very close second to my RME Multiface 2. Worth every penny. :)
