For a project I'm doing at the moment, the final write up of the report calls for me to include tons and tons of equations to be included within the bulk of the text.
I started to write using word 2002 on my computer only to find that microsoft equation editor wasn't in word.
I searched my files, searched the internet, looked through help files...
and yet I couldn't use the 1 program I needed the most for my write up.

In the end I resorted to using the uni's lab computers, today I spent about 25 minutes writing 400 words and 2 1/2 hours inputing equations, for that I only managed 2 1/3 pages of work. :(
The uni computer messed me around when it refused to save my work an started to make weird loud noises from drive A.

Anyway about 20 minutes ago I looked to see if the file would be displayed correctly on my computer, clicked on one of the equations and was not suprised by the missing program information.
Now I have service pack 1 for word downloaded, and it may have used my works suite disc, now as if by magic, the editor is now in word.

So now I don't have to spend large periods of time in front of headache inducing screens anymore :)

Jesus Christ, I'd rather have the bit sequence tattoo'd on my crevice than save important work to a floppy disk!

My mate was doing his final year dissertation and had about 3/4 done but he was saving it directly to A. Anyway, it all went wrong and he lost the lot. For God's sake, save to a hard drive or your user area. Floppy's are cack!
