Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a big sale and anyone who would like to part with their machines are welcome to offload them cheap/free on me, but there is a major misconception about the Mayan calendar predicting the end of the world. 

It is simply approaching the time when the Maya would "turn the page" on their calendar and start a new one.   

It's basically the equivalent of saying the world will end in the year 9999 on the Gregorian calendar because it only accounts for 4-digit years.

ok - with that said - Party on!
