I used Windows 3.10 "WRITE" for my PhD
written exams. I was the first
student of the UC Information school to use a word processor for them.
"Answer me, publicly, 'Am I being graded on my handwriting, or on my
knowledge?'"
That's pretty silly. I've been using LaTeX for just about all my
writing since '87 or so. Given that it's what most, if not all, of
the journals in my field want, I'll probably still be using LaTeX 10
years from now.
Is your Ph.D. in C.S.? It seems silly to write your Ph.D. exams in a
word processor that isn't Turing complete.
