M$ Now has a bundled version of Word and Entourage for 99 bucks. A mere fraction of the horribly overpriced Office. Although I have my misgivings about M$, Office v.X is a delight. Luckily my wife has allowed us to enjoy it at a deep student discount. The down side is there is no upgrade path for the Academic version. Also Think Free office has received rave reviews at 35 bucks. Both of these can be had at almost any Mac reseller.
