But then why is it that more and more I pick up a book, flip through a couple
of pages, and lo & behold, there it is right alongside the copyright and
Lib. of Congress info -- "This book written and typeset with a Macintosh II
and Microsoft Word" or some such?  I dunno...maybe I read too much popular
lit./media, but I've not seen a whole lot of "This book written under vi, and 
typeset with LaTeX/*roff on Bob & Jim's UNIX(c) box."
