DeadBankerDream 01/27/22 8:23:30 AM #5:	350 dollars is definitely not regular price. I bought the lifetime license on sale during black friday for 800DKK and it listed the normal price as 1200 DKK, which converted would be 180 dollars, but electronic stuff is usually more expensive here than in the US. I'd check on Microsoft's own site rather than a third party seller. --- "That thick shaft that causes women to shudder!" <cite>DeadBankerDream posted [p:962118191] in When did M...
