Oh come on man... gimme a little credit!!! :D  it's kind of discouraging
when you pre-judge someone (a newbie such as myself)... just asking for a
bit of advice is all...

But in any case, I used to have fun playing around with Mathematica when I
first started playing with Win 3.1 and a friend brought it over, and I have
used SPSS many a time in order to figure out statistics for marketing
research analyses... not quite an OA application, but I somehow fit it in to
work for me in an OA type of environment...

hmmm.... so the sophisticated users are the Linux and Unix users only?
somehow, I feel that you have a bit of a superiority complex with this whole
computer thing, eh? :D hee hee hee...
