unfortunately, there ain't any at all. The closest thing we've got here
is the TeX Users' Group, based in Oregon. Maybe agitation is the key.

closest one gets I believe is graphic design at tafe.

great, isn't it ;) I've infected several others over the years too. I don't
think that I'm a neophyte @ \LaTeX\ but then again, I haven't written
anything larger than a 6Kword essay (no maths) or a 5 page proof (with
maths). I could quite easily do the proof's typesetting again, but I
cannot remember the maths ;(

Aaarrgggghhhhh! the day of Jason leaving the University is Upon Us! I 
thought it would never happen in my lifetime.

how about fiddling with things until it looks ok? 's generally what I
do with my resume.
