What kind of books do you read??  The only books I've ever seen that were
written and typeset on Mac (or similar) hardware were Mac documentation
and Mac magazines.

I own several books that were written in *roff, mostly UNIX and C books,
but I also have several books, mostly math, written using a variation
on TeX.

Of course, they never do mention that vi was used to edit the text.
Are they ashamed or something?  How about emacs?
