TeX, LaTeX, and Metafont Consulting???  My goodness... one might think
you were not quite objective... ;-)

But in this case, you are.  A little while ago, I posted to the net
asking if AmigaTeX from Radical Eye was any good as I had heard all
sorts of nasty rumors about the company being somewhat... ifffy.

Well, after getting suitably flamed and having Tom Rokicki(sp?) email me
himself, one thing lead to another and I ended out shelling out 300$ for
the entire TeX Etc. package and printer driver.

The English language does not have enough words in it to praise this 
package.  It is fantastic, great, supported, flawless, considerate, etc.,
etc., etc....  Best software package you're ever likely to buy.

Fantastic.
