Or you could spend nothing at all and download NeoOffice, an OS X OpenOffice port. Has almost all of the features of Office, and all the characteristics you'd expect from a native Mac app, all for free.
As a former long-time employee at RS, let me just say this news comes as absolutely no surprise.
Their entire management structure is irrepairably flawed. Most of their top guys were promoted from store-level positions with absolutely no formal training on how to run a fortune 500 corporation. These 'executives' know only how to lead through threats, intimidation, and constant turnover.
In the 1980s and early 90s, they went from being one of the largest and most respected computer manufacturers (Tandy) to almost zero computer sales. In 1990, there was a RadioShack store in every neighborhood, yet they completely missed the boat on the Internet boom. In about 2000 they happened to be in the right place at the right time and lucked into the cell phone boom, hence their good stock performance during this time. They soon (within months) screwed that up and their stock fell to a third of its former value almost overnight.
Now they've been doing nothing new, with the exception of several scandals involving their former CEO, Dave Edmonson. I'd imaging their long term strategory at this point is simply circling the drain long enough for some conglomerate to buy their name at a firesale price for use in some branding strategy
This guy tried just that and almost ended up losing everything had not a do-gooder attorney (oxymoron?) stepped in.
Our legal system is designed to keep lawyers in the rich, not for the benefit of you and I.
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Artists Against 419, you let the link run in an extra tab, and it sucks bandwidth from 419ers and fake banks.

Absolutely. Just today I'm using nigeria-escr0w-service1.biz to pay for two $500 plasma TVs. Only suckers get burned on eBay.
