    I agree \emph{completely}.\footnote{``Text markup'' is much more portable. I
    have 10-year-old \LaTeX{} files that are still usable on my \textsc{gentoo}

    I downloaded this the other day off LimeWire. I think there was a bug in the installer because it deleted a bunch of my files. So I tried it on a friend's Mac too. Same thing there. Leave it to Microsoft to not know how to write an installer.

    Feh... LaTeX is a new-fangled text-markup package. I still write papers using troff, pic, tbl, etc. Seriously.

    Tart Society? I'm intrigued, Zpok... do you mean tart as in a flat pastry filled with fruit, or tart as in "slutty woman". In either case, where do I join?

    You mean here at Slashdot? We've got tons of underqualified "teachers" and nobody willing to be the "students".
