[R] R-business case

[Spencer Graves]

      Even if your office will NOT support R, you can use it for 
anywhere SAS is NOT specifically required.  I work with others who use 
S-Plus, so I use S-Plus for compatibility for things I do that may 
involve sharing with others using SAS.  However, for tasks for which R 
is superior to S-Plus, if I don't need to share with others using 
S-Plus, I use R. 

      Good Luck!
