no statview to OS X - time to go back to os 9?
from <a href="http://www.statview.com/" target="_blank">http://www.statview.com/</a> you will find that statview is not coming to os x, this means classic for ever. does anyone have any suggestions because this is really bad news for apple and os x - particularly for education and university sales.
i am pissed.

Why not try <a href="http://www.stata.com/" target="_blank">Stata</a>?
It's very powerful, it's been Carbonized since April or so, and it's easy to use. It is a little less point-and-click-y than, say, SPSS, but if you understand the statistics it all makes sense.
But it looks like it's not just OS X - it looks like it's dying completely.

ok, i can say the following: i don't do heavy statistics but statview is an excellent programme and it runs nicely in classic though. i hope they are not discontinuing it. as for spss it should come out "early 2002" in a carbon-version, but no news yet.
i haven't really checked out stat yet, it looks like it is more a command-based programme and not a GUI-programme which makes it difficult for me. I tried (Graphpad) Instat 3 and although it can only take 26 columns and 1000 rows does everything I need. Guess I will have to make some arrangements for the extra columns that I need.
Brian: if you feel like writing a statistical programme, feel extremely welcome to do so, I just might buy it from you instead...
I'd love for the G5 to be an OS X **ONLY** box (as in no classic support at all - even with X).
If the CPU is as kick-a$$ as people say this will give new 3rd party developers a chance to come out with apps under X that make the 9 stuff look like child's play.
I doubt Apple has the testicular fortitude to do it but it sure would light a fire under the 'holdouts'.
