Hi all.  A friend of mine asked me to assist with an R presentation to the
Penn State LUG in a few weeks.  The audience will be predominately
computer scientists and/or engineers (I suspect) and they are just looking
for presentations of good open source software and my friend volunteered
R.  We are both relatively new to R, so I thought it would be best to ask
the list for your opinion....what do the expert R-users think would be
most appropriate for a presentation to non-statistical people?  I see a
lot of postings from people in other disciplines and I would love to hear
what you have to say as well.  By the way, I am aware of the demo()
function in R and I am absolutely amazed by that, but not everybody in
this audience will think the Brownian motion plot is as cool as I do!
Many thanks in advance,
