If somehow you missed the announcement, SBL and Logos Software have teamed up with Michael W. Holms to offer a free downloadable Greek NT. (The text as XML is also available with a promised online and PDF version coming soon.) After a speedy installation, the Logos version looks quite nice indeed and the price was right!

A must have for every Ugaritician, brought to you by our friends at Eisenbrauns. From the description:
The gods gather together to drink, and Yarihu drinks himself under the table. That's the story behind this mug, and the story that's printed on it, as well, with the transcription of the original Ugaritic on one side, and the translation on the other.
This is no dainty stemware—this is nearly 3 pounds of solid glass, and will hold two full bottles of your favorite libations (or a 5-scoop root beer float, for those under age.)
We encourage you to imbibe reponsibly, but should you choose to drink yourself under the table like a god, consider yourself warned: the section missing from the transcription (and tablet) is the rest of the hangover remedy!
(When do we get to see some photos, James?)
