I'm looking into getting a Statistics package for the Macintosh in our office. Does anyone out there have any experience with Mac stats that they would care to share with me? I am interested in info on Systat in particular. Thanks in advance. kevin gregory gregory@eos.arc.nasa.gov

Plug alert: I work for Abacus Concepts, makers of StatView. If you read the reviews in MacUser, Macworld, etc., Statview wins hands down for power and ease of use. Abacus has two products: Statview for straight-ahead stats and SuperANOVA for (as you might guess) GLM. If you want more info, free liter- ature, etc., give them a call at 800/666-STAT. If you're looking for GLM, be sure to ask for a demo disk of SuperANOVA; great product that has been wowing the users since it was released a few months ago.

I've seen Statview, DataDesk, Systat, MacSpin and JMP. Systat stands out as having the worst Macintosh interface; it is a program ported from other systems, and it shows. FastStat and Mystat are crippled versions of Systat. You may want to use Systat if it does things that you need to do that the other programs can't do. The other programs have a variety of features, including point cloud rotations (DataDesk, MacSpin, JMP) and linking points in different windows (select a point in one window, say a plot or list of data, and it is highlighted in other windows) (DataDesk, MacSpin, JMP, ?Statview).
