Thanks, Jon, but no interest.
Per
AppleInsider: Customers can buy the Home or Student variants of Office 2021 for a one-time purchase $149.99.
Considering my very limited Excel use, that's a deal breaker. I can probably get Office 2019 for half that much, but I think I'm gonna d/l Numbers and see if I can get Microsoft out of my life after all these years.
I haven't needed a word processor in many years, but if I ever need one I'll see if no-longer-under-development-but-with-maintained-compatibility Bean (freeware) still works.
