Hi,

Perhaps I'm wrong, but so far the educational institutes I attended were the 
ones with the best bandwith. Then again I love hacking pet projects in 
vacation spots where I don't have internet outside of internet cafes that do 
not allow free downloads and then I have to have all the docu on DVD.

And I never need tex during vacation, but as I said: it's just me :)

Greetings, Stephan
