LaTeX ("lah-tek") is a type setting system created in 1984. It's old, but like some other things good inspite of being old, it works!
The first large-scale project for me to use LaTeX was writing my Masters Thesis in 1998. After that I have been using it on day-to-day basis for many tasks. When I wrote my Doctoral Thesis in 2001, I hacked several LaTeX packages and rigged a system that allowed me to write the thesis easily. Later when some other student asked me for the files, it motivated me to write some explainations and make a set of files that make sense (hopefully?) to others. It has been used by several people to write their thesis, not though nothing fancy, it works.
