I had the impression that the reviewer only read the back of the box
on that one.  For example, Milo got 4 or 5 mice.  Milo does some
nice things, but as an equation _typesetter_ it is absolutely
useless. (well maybe the output quality is good enough
for a homework paper or something..).  The reviewer obviously
didn't try to print anything or he would have given Milo 1/2 a mouse.

I wish MacUser would go back to doing a handful of good reviews
instead of this 101-mini-reviews bs.
