I apologize for my rant a few weeks ago.
Although I feel that over the years SPSS has become more commercialized,
that definitely does *not* apply to Jon Peck and Rick Oliver who do work
in an extremely collegial manner.
A couple of hours before I was leaving the country for a few weeks, I
started receiving emails complaining about two links in had mentioned.
These were links on why one should not use a spread sheet as a
statistical package. I was embarrassed because I had not double checked
links I had used before.
The first link to a video was indeed broken and I should have checked it
before giving it out.
The second link asked for ID information before it would allow a
download. This is what struck me as looking for sales leads. This is
just a small matter and my reaction was out of proportion. After cooling
off I saw that one can just uncheck the boxes at the bottom.
