  • The easy guide to switching from Windows to Mac

    When someone, somewhere, sometime comes up with a statistical simulations software for the Mac, please let me know. 
    IBM SPSS?
    Thanks. This must be fairly new. The SPSS website is currently buggy and slow, and their phone support is available only on weekdays. I have an email out to IBM support to find out more, as well as to some folks whom I think should be in the know. 

    Will let let you know if this indeed the case (although the pricing of SPSS, which runs into the many $000s, could be an issue).

    It would be so nice if there was a plug-in like there is for the Windows version of Excel.
    Look, not to bust your cans or anything but is it really that bad you can only reach them on weekdays? Seriously? I am all for the new software companies live chatting 24/7 , but they are still not the standard and those guys usually cost a pretty penny. And here you are looking for a better service for a contradictory rate and implying it's neck to neck with some plug-in for Excel, where either you have support all year long for next to nothing (unlikely) or probably you also dont have the support you're looking for and you're bitching about something you presently don't have but don't want to pay for? I mean, come on.

    Not really. I used SPSS a few years back while majoring Psychology and I used a Mac. I believe IBM had just acquired SPSS, so it's been around a few years now.

     Even so, it's not Apple's nor IBM's job to facilitate the tools for your specific needs. You have to find them yourself, be it a windows or a mac. It is only about your preference when you have a choice in the matter.
