(my paraphrase)^^^
Not only that, but the use of TeX on a micro with 640K and 20 MB hard 
disk is VERY impractical for LONG publications.  A member of our research
group, wrote his Preliminary exam, approx. 35 pages, on his micro and managed
to get a very impressive product.  However, when working on his Thesis, forget
it.  You run out of space keeping all of the necessary tables and cross
referencing information.
