Hi,

I was over at Google on Tuesday and gave a Google Tech Talk about Org- 
mode.
If you are interested, I have put a link to the video on the Org-mode  
home page.
Or go directly to youtube at

The talk was impressive, especially because it made me aware of the 
org-mode web site and this mailing list. I've been using org-mode for 
about 7 months after finding out about it through an article in Linux 
Journal. I'm a mathematics professor and I use org-mode to keep track of 
grades. I have things set up so that all I need to do is input scores 
into a table and all calculations are done automatically. Very cool. 
Every other system I've used for recording grades has either been a pain 
to customize or required me to do hand calculations. Org-mode was the 
solution to my grade recording problem.

I use org-mode for a few other tasks, but I'm still learning its 
features. From the talk, I played around with the LaTeX preview feature, 
but I don't think I'll use it much. The preview graphic was too small 
for my bad eyes and I already have a relatively convenient system for 
doing LaTeX work. However, I am intrigued by the publishing features of 
org-mode when it comes to HTML. I use tables on my website because 
certain unmentionable browsers don't work well with CSS unless one is 
willing to maintain complicated code. I don't have time to maintain 
complicated code for ridiculous browsers, so I still use tables. I 
gather that org-mode will be enable me to simplify working with HTML 
tables. I'll definitely look into this.

Emacs and org-mode are fantastic.
