Before OS X, Adobe would likely have sold Linux versions of
FrameMaker, but they wouldn't have made any money because
the development costs would have far outweighed the revenues.
With the advent of OS X, though, Adobe is finally forced to
develop software in a unix-type environment. Granted, it'

Well, at least LaTeX errors are us
And the really frustrating thing is having spent hours setting it all up and
writing some long paper at the end of it all you go to print it off and get
told "LaTeX error" better fix it.
No thanks.

Just a comment (without trying to start a flamewar) -- the key to using
