Me neither. A few people in my university research dept use
Windows, but most work is done on Unix and increasingly Linux.
This applies to both "server" and "desktop" stuff. Hence my
interest in seeing Linux on the SGI VW's and the forthcoming
IA-32 servers.

Yes, it's a good package. I used it all through undergrad days
on an old DEC Ultrix workstation. Now, I use it for quick
letters but all journal articles and my thesis were written
directly in LaTeX.

>xv is my main image processing tool

Another excellent package, though I have found that xv can't
handle some of the newer .jpegs. Have you had this problem?

Self-assessed tax returns are still the exception rather than
the norm in the UK, so sales of tax software are much less
than in the US. Most people here have the tax taken out of their
salary before they get it.
