Yes, indeed Jewels. The one off license is now $199, I would be up for 1 now 
and another soon I suspect, but I eventually decided to go with Office 365 
(family - 6 users) but my employer is an MS user and via that as an employee i 
am eligible for a 30% ongoing annual discount. So deal is done. Tax deductible 
too, so whilst on principle I didn’t want to lock in for ‘life’, it is done - 
net cost to me ~$55/annum.

Regards

Pete.
