Re: PSPP promotion at professional associations

[Dr. Ivan A. de la Rosa]

Dana, I agree with you completely.  I just learned about PSPP.  Out of
frustration with SPSS, I searched for an open source alternative to
SPSS (which is really a burden to students and faculty with their ever
increasing costs and updated versions).  Now, I have spread the word
about PSPP through my professional listserves.  It amazes me how few
in Social Work research know about PSPP.
