LaTex

I have to write this report for a course called computer architecture: special topics.
We were required to read a few scientific papers relating to any area relating to computer architecture, and then make some presentations and write a report.
I was all right with it, until the prof announced he wanted the report to be in a format called LaTex.
First I was like WTF? Then I got a book from the library and checked it out. Seems its a markup language for formatting scientific journals and reports.
I was like "why cant these dudes just use word and get it over with?" So in addition to research and all, I had to learn a new markup language.
Well I decided to stop complaining and installed Miktek, and TeXniCentre. And I jumped in, as I love to do.After doing a few trial runs, and viewing the output in PDF, I could see why scientists and all like using this . The output is of really high quality and really really tight. So if you feel like, just try it and play with it. If you could learn HTML, then I am sure you can handle LaTex.

Ciao!
