in what sense is LaTeX something over than "raw TeX with macros"??? oh,
you mean where you write all the macros? i am interested to hear that
you don't use such commonplaces as \alpha and \sqrt.

if you want a document to read on the screen, why not design for the
screen? of course, if you work towards an A4 page with 1 inch margins
and 10 pt Computer Modern math, and display it in PDF with the full
page, it looks like a set of bird tracks.
