I totally agree with this.

Google "LaTeX for humanities" and you'll get back a number of useful hits about using LaTeX for non-math/non-science writing; from what I can tell, this type of usage is increasing. If I would have discovered LaTeX sooner, I could have saved myself a world of pain over the years.

Now if I can only get my employer to see the light...

I used BeOS as my sole home OS over a period of 2-3 years starting with v3 and ending with v5.0.3. IF you had supported hardware on your PC, it was a fantastic OS. I was using a generic ATX motherboard, Pentium II 300MHz CPU, 192MB RAM, 4 GB IDE hard drive (I forget what brand), Creative 6x DVD drive, STB Velocity 128 8MB PCI video card, and an SB Live sound card. My installation was fast and stable: I could never crash the machine through my daily tasks of web surfing, document creation (using Gobe Productive 2.0), and lots of MP3 ripping. If I still had that PC in my house, I'd put BeOS on it again in a heartbeat.
