Contrary to a lot of opinions at Monash, I find T3 to be one of the best
packages I have used, and would recommend it to anyone.  The big catch with T3
is that it is completely indecipherable if you don't sit down and do the tutes
first.

I used said editor to produce my honours report and will use it to write up my
thesis.  I also used it to write many job applications, which were printed on a
very humble printer, and got lots of positive feedback from potential employers
who looked at my resume.

Daffy.
