Indeed I do. Bought a copy at my university and used it for Economics assignments.

It was a fair amount on work - I certainly could have hand-written answers more quickly. But I think I got a bump because profs liked not having to decipher my ChiWriter output, which was probably welcome after marking 100 handwritten submissions.

[edit: fixed a typo]
