Arthur, I believe there is an open source/free software package out there similar to SPSS...Those who are retiring and cleaning out are coming up with all sorts of stuff. I'll ask tomprrow. BTW We had a unit head meeting today and the associate commissioner I think wa blindsided by ALL the negative critism of his proposed reorganization. Folks were really pissed off. I'm thinking of proposing my own thoughts of a reorg. with the unit heads. Nothing to lose. ________________________________ From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com on behalf of Arthur Fuller Sent: Fri 8/13/2010 11:38 AM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Free "Mathematica" type software Thanks for the reply. I'm aware of Mr. Wolfram and early on joined his New Science group, and I shall look into WolframAlpha.com. There's no way my retirement budget could stand a $300 hit. But I will look into the Unbuntu community for alternatives.
