SPSS and the mouse
Locked

Diana, Christeen,
Still doing my webpage guides, but I thought you'd like this extract:
Old
Dog, Old tricks: accompanying slide-shows I
hate the indiscriminate use of mouse and drop-down menus, so check out this
movie clip first:

You're an angel (pun definitely intended!)
Makes all my efforts worthwhile.
You should send your reply to the list, not just to
me. I love doing these wind-ups (Don't quote me or they'll block me from
the list!. Oops, accidentally on purpose, too late!). Last I heard,
SPSS had around 3,000,000 users world-wide,
(and going down rapidly??) but the list has only 1,800. How do we contact
the other 2,998,200? Maybe there's only a few of our sort left: Battle of
Rorke's Drift springs to mind. Victoria Crosses all round, but ultimate
defeat stares us in the face.
Some of my old sociologist mates are heading
for STATA. If anyone wants to do side-by-side pages for my tutorials, feel
free, but there's no way I'm starting that at my age (68). I've only just
mastered Insert... Hyperlink in Word
(wonderful!)
What do you suggest for the subject link?
Should we blanket mail every subject on the list? Naughty!!
Seriously, we need to start some some sort of campaign, otherwise SPSS as we
know (knew?) and love it may be no more (and be twice as expensive for those who
have to pay the licence fee).
Mind you, $2,500,000,00 is a big price for the IBM
takeover and Norman Nie may have trousered a nice sweetener for the
trademark. Perhaps I should have persevered with the Salford Survey Suite,
but senior staff at the Royal College of Advanced Technology were far too busy
jostling for Professorships in the new university-to-be and cared not a jot for
us short contract junior researchers stuck in Ashton's timber yard board-room,
now sadly demolished, but senior management snaffled the beautiful
mahogany panelling.
I've spent all day editing two (actually three) new
guides to my materials and have now posted them on my webpage. I think
I've cracked the reciprocal hyperlink problem by referring users back to the
pages rather than the guides. The guides will always be the first entry on
each page. Tonight two of them are still at the bottom of
Papers, but I'll push them to the top tomorrow.

Learning materials for SPSS
(top of page)
and hours later, still at bottom of
page
Papers: Summary Guide and Annotated guide

PS PASW apparently stands for
Predictive Analytics Soft
Ware: sounds like something you stick up your anus for
haemorrhoids. I can think of worse,
but it could just have been a ploy to winkle the trademark rights out of
Norman.
