Hi List, I had the pleasure of taking Dr Bob Muenchen's interview for his upcoming book R For SAS and SPSS users. He has spent 27 years in this field while I have spent almost that much on earth. So this is more like a fan blog interview. I thought it would be of use to people curious about R, or even SAS , or SPSS if they have not worked on either of these packages before. Having fought my

Dear Lists, Here are my latest posts on retrenching and locating facilities better.
