Anyone got any suggestions on where to buy a license for Microsoft Office. Not really into paying for 365 since its purely for personal use.
I was using the HUP to buy licenses but discovered this summer that they have discontinued single license purchases through the program. Just wanting to get a new license for my wife (she is on Office '11) but don’t feel like spending $150 if I don’t have to.
Check the deals sites. 365 offers best bang-for-the-buck, with 1Tb storage thrown in.
Lowest price I’ve seen now for the 365 products is Newegg: $69.99 for one-year of the 365 Personal Edition, $99.99 for the Home Edition (good for up to 6 people, with 1Tb storage per person, offering premium versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive, OneNote and Outlook).
Best savings are around Black Friday; for the last few years Amazon has offered 12 months of Microsoft Office 365 Home for $100, with $50 Amazon GC/credit.

Yeah. Unfortunately we don’t use Office enough to justify the subscription in my mind but since '11 is 32-bit figured its time to upgrade. I’m sure pages would be fine but I think its just a preference thing at this point. Sucks that HUP went away because it was nice buying $15 licenses.
Hey, I also went 365 because it’s so hard to find something that’s not. But I was able to get it at a decent discount on Amazon. Forget exact price, but it was something like 20% off and then using my amazon credit card it was another 5% off

this is a great anime series, a no brainer at that price 
Yes! it was at that price last July for a week (when I got it), but after that it’s been $53.99 until today.
Raskin for Mac (an alternative desktop interface) just had its v2.0 update released in the Mac App Store, price set to free. (Oddly, it’s still listed on the dev’s website as free d/l but a $9.99 price.) Online manual here.
One of Amazon’s Deals of the Day, the Logitech solar K750 is at an all-time low of $37.50:

Interesting that Raskin has been revived after four or five years. V2 crashes just as reliably as v1 did five years ago.
Ha. 
Haven’t played with it yet. At least it’s free!
