[OS X TeX] TeX is not for the faint of heart

[Alain Schremmer]

I just went to http://www.rna.nl/tex.html and scrolled down/ the way I 
did when I first started/. You have to understand that I had already 
gone through a number of sites, still was not enlightened, and knew that 
I would have to go through another number of sites. So, I could not sit 
down and read anything the way I read mathematics--one page a day. I 
/had/ to skim.

All of this to say that I did /not/ see the "Confused - Dont Panic" 
paragraph.

I mean, it ought to be UP FRONT. Think of the great unwashed legions!
