Pardon my english but you're working for idiots. I'd look elsewhere if
there are other options. IT departments should be here to help get
things done, not to help prevent good work from being done.

I have recently started a new job at an NHS hospital in Scotland. Since
I took up this post 6 months ago I have had an ongoing dispute with the
IT secutiry dept. who refuse to install R on my computer. I previously
worked in another branch of the NHS where R was widely used and yet
there is nothing I can say which will persuade the IT dept here to even
visit the website! With some help from our head of department, they
have now agreed to install R but only if they receive an email from 'R'
ensuring that it is licensed for commercial use, is compaitable with
Windows XP and will not affect the networked computer system here. My
only other option for data anlaysis is Excel, we have no money for
S-plus or any other stats programme. Can anyone suggest anything or
send me a suitable email?
Many thanks,
