Nonsense. That may be true on a UNIX box, but with Textures on the
Mac, integrating figures couldn't be easier (can you say "copy" and
"paste"?).

I know. I just got done writing my dissertation. It is full of math,
and I cannot imagine how I would have managed without LaTeX.

You do have to shell out a couple of hundred bucks, though. And there
is no problem transferring the .dvi files to your UNIX machine and
printing them there. If you want your figures printed too, you have to
transfer the PostScript files, though. If you have a SuperDrive in
your Mac and a Sparc at work, you can stick a disk in one and access
what you wrote on it with the other.

Go with LaTeX. I know many satisfied Ph.D.s who did not regret the
choice (most of them used UNIX boxes, though).
