[protext] Downloading LaTeX

[Hippisley]

Like other open source software, LaTeX systems appear to be impossible 
for people of 'average" intelligence to download, install, and use.

LaTeX has been recommended by my Physics instructor as a vehicle for 
writing my final report this semester.  I have been trying, without 
success, to download the proTeXt-MiKTeX Windows ensemble for the past 
two hours.  Each download page I am sent to provides only tons more text 
about the next layer of components.

I like to think I'm a "tekkie", but I must confess, I have been 
outclassed by the developers of LaTeX.

Give me a good understandable MS Office download anytime.
