Andy Brownsword has the right price in mind:
Its the time of year where things may winding down for the new year and we can get a bit of breathing room. With that free time you might want to try something new, let’s say some SQL Server in the cloud?
It could be a good time to start brushing up on new skills, seeing what the services have to offer, or maybe you want to start blogging!
You’re not going to be able to do a tremendous amount at these tiers, but it’s hard to beat that price.
