And, even if it didn't compile (which is a big "if"), you'd still have a postscript or pdf file of the presentation. I have yet to find a non-DRM'ed pdf old enough to cause me trouble when trying to view it.

I haven't seen Mason ( http://www.masonhq.com/ ) mentioned yet. I was hoping someone else would mention it because I don't feel I can properly represent it. I only played around with it; nothing substantial. But I liked it (for what that's

I read this little gem over the summer: Godel's Proof ( http://www.amazon.com/Godels-Proof-Ernest-Nagel/dp/081475837... ) At 160 pages, it's the ideal size to carry with you everywhere you go. All summer long, any time I had an extra half a
