Dear fellow LaTeX friends, From a little guy, von einem Duemmerchen, I want to report how useful LaTex has been to our small organization. We have used TeX and LaTeX for many years and we have contributed modest dollars, within our means, to LaTeX's future development. We love LaTeX. And we hope that the new "3" development won't cause us us to rearrange our lives significantly. As rank amateurs in this typesetting business, we look forward to a "3" that will enable _easy_ font selection and an _easy_ transition from "2e," the transition to which was a model others should imitate. We also hope that "3" will provide the same typesetting discipline in the original Lamport/LaTeX package. At the same time, we admire and applaud all of the volunteer efforts, here and abroad, and we hope that whatever the "3" developers do will address the needs of the small organizations such as ours. We wish all of you the best in your work. ================================================================ Michael O'Connor Voice 518/584-7300 Southern Adirondack Library System FAX 518/587-5589 22 Whitney Place Internet [log in to unmask] Saratoga Springs NY 12866-4596 DRANet sallib::moc ================================================================
