[OS X TeX] Macintouch report on TeX versus Word

[Themis Matsoukas]

Let me recap this thread:

We love latex, so much so that when we touch Word (rarely, mind you)  
we feel the guilt of betraying someone beautiful. So, what if NASA  
does not share this obsession?

Oh my goodness -  did I just use "latex" and "obsession" in the same  
email?
