hi DanB, Bilbobaggins, Nxsfan, Squiggles, GoodBoy, Maxipat, everyone
thank you so much for your replies. I've just come into the lab, I'm getting the latex download now!
Kisses to you too DanB! :-)

At first I thought I would be lost doing this all by myself. But now I am more confident because everyone is so helpful!!!
Hope you're doing ok with it too Bilbo!!!

Hi everyone I just borrowed a copy of leslie lamport's latex book, I will try the latex download tomoro. I'm thinking maybe the advantage is that the formatting will always stay??? Word is good but sometimes margins shift etc. I'm looking at chapter 2 now.

For those of u who r using latex, do your supervisors use it too? How would I send my work then? In .tex?

Thanks :-)

hi Oulera
Your post is a bit difficult for me to understand. So you want to finish your phd and go for a industry job, right? What do you mean by putting academia on hold? Do you mean stop writing those great books and research ideas while you are searching for Miss Right? :-)

33 is a good age to be; and love will come to you wherever you are, if you invite it lovingly and openly. You don't have to do an industry job to have lots of free time (I'm not so sure about money), well what I mean is you dont have to go into a specific career line just to find your life partner.

It probably hasn't happened for you yet. Be patient. Concentrate on your phd now, always think positive; whenever you have spare minutes, sit and imagine yourself being successful with wife, family; as you keep yourself positive, your outlook will change and so will the environment around you.

Its great (and somewhat responsible, if that is the right word?) that you dont want to date students when you are a professor. Even soldiers who are sent away for lengthy periods of time get married!!! Think of all the oil rig engineers etc.etc.
THey have families too!

Don't dwell on what might have been (your two near-misses), let it go, let all of that go. Love will definitely come to you.

hi maxipat
thanks for your reply. Can you post me a link for the LaTEx download? The one you are using, so at least I have a friend who's done it :-) :-) :-)

for some strange reason I have been finding it difficult to work with Word, I dont know why. I will have a look at this latex thingy, hope it works out for me

love satchi

hi, I really need some advice about latex. My friend recommended it to me.
1. how long will it take to learn how to use it
2. if I download latex for windows, and then have another one for mac, will it read the same when I switch computers

thanks
satchi

hi Gilani congratulations on your appointment!!!
Is that EUR1200 tax free?

Food is not expensive in Spain, transportation is good too; not too bad.
Assuming you will rent a flat (depending on location, some are not cheap) and you will still need to give a monthly allowance to your wife, there will not be much left for savings, but I think you can get by.

Their internet service providers also give good rates for students; especially when they are affiliated with your university.

The professor wondered what happened to the giant cabbage
