Dept. of Physics, Mysore University. Recently, I had been to another
University where I introduced the facilities of TeX (basic) and friends
and won over many youngsters. 

Our students, a majority of them from rural background, had there first
exposure to computers at M.Sc. If it surprises anybody, that is the
ground reality here. I would the percentage of `computer unawares' at
70. With that background, I _feel_ emacs+auctex would be a very steep
curve to climb.
