I never used TeX on IBM PC so I don't much about that. I have played with
TeX on a UNIX(tm) machine and TeXtures(tm) on the Mac. The big advandage of
TeXtures is that you can paste graphics directly into your TeX document.
Although you can do this on a UNIX machine with some other program such as
psfig... but TeXtures is much easy to use.
