Hi neters, 

I use LaTeX on PC to do my word processing stuff. It is a greate typesetter 
but I always have one problem that makes me sick. How (if possible) can
I import pictures-drawings-charts-etc in a LaTeX document? Is there
any software around that allows you doing so? I know there is a product
for MacIntoshes (MacTeX) which allows to paste MacPaint files within
TeX files. I am so tired of the limitations in the PC,  I really think
of trashing the whole thing and get a Mac and the appropriate s/w. But I
have invested so much so far, so please help. Any suggestions, even not
perfect ones, would be very helpful. 

Also suggestions for good paint
s/w on the PC (no matter if they integrate with LaTeX) would be 
appreciated. Right now I use the Paint utility of the Windows and I
thing it really sucks.
