Personally, I have found the messages of support from scientists everywhere to be truly heartfelt, and I would like to highlight some of the community initiatives IвЂ™ve seen here: We also want to use our platform to highlight the response from the scientific community.

I think it was designed to run on a 64K PDP-11, and had no way to expand easily as larger and larger address spaces became available. The version I was using was far too small to be useful I could not create all the necessary cross-references in the book until one of my co-authors, in a fit of rage, went into TeX and expanded a table size (it was written in Pascal, quite possibly the worst programming language ever foisted on an unsuspecting world). The best thing I can say about TeX is that I survived the experience (and have the scars to prove it). I do not program in assembly code, I do not use punched cards, and I do not use TeX, which is merely the most complex of a long line of batch document production systems. Word is very author-oriented but becomes a problem if you need precision in typesetting. I wrote one, back in 1970, used another for my thesis, used TeX for a book, and PageMaker for two books. But we have moved far beyond punched cards and batch-compiled document systems. I use modern GUI-based document systems for my current work, and have published two books using PageMaker, which is a great system if you are a typesetter and a crummy system if you are an author. I have not used it since, and been very happy. I had the misfortune to have to use it back around 1989, and it was not worth the effort. I consider TeX to be the equivalent of punched cards.
