[Athen] Fwd: Resources for SPSS Statistics and accessibility

[David Andrews]

There was recent discussion on some lists I run, 
and people's experiences with SPSS were not good!


You know this, but you need to ask what the goal 
is. Iws it to learn SPSS, or is it to accomplish 
a task. If a task, SAS, or R may be better, easier, more accessible solutions.
