GM now offering the Factory Service Manual as a subscription?!?

[Fless]

FWIW Not sure if I've posted this before but Microsoft recently started offering a static (current) version of Office Home 2024 for single PC or Mac use. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and One Note. One-time fee ($149.99), download, and no updates or ongoing technical support, similar to the old Office versions on CD:

Sadly, MS has increased the MS 365 Family Plan price by $30 a year (to $129.99), so I'll be going to the one-time purchase this coming fall. It'll be a bigger hit this year since I'll also buy one for my son, but after that I'll probably never need an update and he can manage his own updates and renewals.

I don't need their OneDrive cloud storage.

If your Son is going to college, students get a nice discount. Or at least they did in the past.

Some employers have discounts from M$, too, so you can check there.
