I have missed you...

Aren't you in the Washington D.C. area?  If so, you could go to George Washington:

(from the GW website)
"SAS has been licensed by the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning and has been made freely available to students, faculty, and staff of the George Washington University for educational purposes. "

It hasn't been easy to live in Iowa this year- we had 100 degree temperatures for most of last summer, and a new record snowfall this winter (which meant that all the side streets were solid ice for 3 months).  There are low housing prices and every four years (so far) the presidential candidates all show up so we get to meet them, but it seems to me that you could meet politicial candidates in the Washington D.C. area as well....

  Mary,

  $29.95?!?!?!  So, for the price of a good hardback novel, I could have
  the power and might of SAS on my workstation?!?!?  Considering the
  thousands and thousands we spend on SAS software, that is maddening.  It
  makes a guy seriously think about moving to Iowa:-)

  Take Care!
