The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

now they can charge an yearly fee for me to write Word documents. I don't own anything, I have to rent it.

You don't have to rent it. You can still purchase Microsoft Office (as opposed to subscribe) for 149.99 if you are so inclined.

microsoft.com - Compare all microsoft products

For those that don't believe in paying for software, web and mobile versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive (up to 5GB) and Outlook are free.

microsoft.com - Free productivity apps

Another hack is to somehow get a referral from a Microsoft employee. I believe they are allowed to give out 5 per year. With a referral, you can buy an Office 365 subscription for 19.99 instead of the standard 69.99 from the Microsoft Store.
