A co-worker just got Math Type and we've been playing with it for the past
two days.  There were some bugs with it driving a Laserjet III which the 
documentation stated would be fixed in the next release.  As far as 
functionality is concerned, it works pretty well for what it was intended.  
It seems pretty similar to another product (by some other company) for the
Mac (I know that sounds vague, but I try to know as little about the Mac as
possible :-)

IMHO, I'd have sent it back since it didn't drive the LJ III properly (which
I have) my co-worker hasn't decided yet.  Of course, I'd much rather be able 
to type in equations in LaTeX form instead of building a graphics insert.  
It's a shame nobody seems interested in developing that kind of solution yet.
