Dear all,

I fully agree with Mel. I find no rationale in this outrageous SPSS web-site
that includes White Papers.

Some people within SPSS apply the myth of the donkey (us) and its effort to
eat a "banana" that hangs over its head (white papers) but it can never eat
it.

There  is only one difference,  we pay for the "banana".

Thanks

Nikos Paparodopoulos

Hi,
Just to say that I used the support web to obtain a white paper.
Unfortunately, I began to lose interest owing to answering questions each
time.
On the last occasion I was unable to download the paper - oh joy!
What we should remember is the SPSS is there to make money and owing
to its dominant position doesn't really need to worry about what we as
consumers
think.
