Crossplatform.... not much of a big deal, sorry. I'm a Mac user with a brand-spankin-new MacBook Pro but I don't mind Fusion or Parallels as much as I did a few weeks ago. Once I realized the university wasn't going to support anything except IE6/7 for the HR application (some PeopleSoft trash solution) I decided my paycheck was too important to not install Windows on the Mac. That's life. (Strange thing is, the computer labs are Mac-only in my department!) I honestly just want my data crunched and spit out on paper. If I have to pay for SAS or SPSS, I'd certainly pay for an RB version that did what I wanted. (SAS is PC only, so I'm stuck with that reality, now, too.) - CSW _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
