All true. Some of us who are running R on Macs chose to do so at a time when Windoze machines were limited to 4G (actually 2.5 Gigs effectively) and we wanted a bit more headroom for larger objects. (I started back in the days of CP/M.) It wasn't the possibility of having dropdown menus, but rather the fact that it was a reasonable GUI bolted on top of a Unix box. If you want dropdown menus, then consider the Rcmdr package which runs in all of the three strains of OSes that are supported by the R Core. The RStudio effort is also a nice facility to ease the transition to "real programming". But if you really don't want to exert any effort and simply want a "non-programming package", then buy a seat for the JMP program. (Not cheap.) -- David. > > -- > Sent from my phone.
