Well, my assumption was that the history majors and professors were  
driven by need just like the physics and math department.  Different  
needs of course, but fairly serious stuff.  Large document handling,  
excellent reference management, etc.

It just surprised me I guess because it seemed that few of their  
counterparts in biology, sociology, language, and other areas were  
able to grok typesetting.  It always seemed to me that language  
majors could really have used TeX, but I rarely saw them touch it.
