I learned SPSS-X for mainframes the hard way. So should all the would-be statisticians these days. SPSS for PC is much too user-friendly. It is a crying shame.
Have a happy day!

at this point the Mac faithful are more like a mainstream religion. they shed their monks robes and secret handshakes a long time ago.

I've always thought of network engineers as a cult of their own. Every single one of us viewing this site has a network at our business and probably in our homes, too. But everything we know about networking is WRONG. Do you own a home router that can do NAT? You are a heretic. NAT is anathema. Do you buy fancy switches to do jobs that should be done by routers? You are unclean. Mind you, there's nothing in the networking orthodoxy that explains what to do when the One True Way is infeasible, yet we still need to go on about our business. What's important is that we follow the Path and submit to the Way of the Great Packets.

Yaknow, I'd use Emacs if there was just a decent editor somewhere in there.
