R and its GUI Rattle helped me establish a data mining consulting startup on my own, without taking bank credit . People I met on the forum and especially books like rforsasandspssusers.com/ <http://rforsasandspssusers.com/>
helped me ease the transition to the new Object Oriented method from the earlier - even a monkey can create shakespeare if he types enough kind of analytics software. .Since I am in India , the cost differences can cause almost a digital divide in who can and who cant use sophisticated software. Thanks to the Angels here....Yes we Can R...............
