I've got some beginner-type questions about TeX:

  1) What software is available?  (Commercial, pd, ftp addresses...)

  2) What special hardware is required?  (Monitors, memory, printers...)

  3) Do you need a laser printer, or can you get reasonable output on a
     dot-matrix printer?

  4) Why on earth does D. Knuth say that it should be pronounced 'tek'? ;)

Many thanks in advance...
