(Self) Introduction

[Bob_Clark@fishgame.state.ak.us (Clark, Bob)]

I am the regional research supervisor for the Sport Fish Division of the   
Alaska Department of Fish and Game in southcentral Alaska.  My staff deal   
with a variety of statistical and analytical problems in sport fisheries.   
 I am personally interested in seeing an OS and software that is tailored   
to the non-programmer research scientist.  Most Windows software is   
tailored to business or for a specific segment of the scientific   
community.  Commercial UNIX software is expensive.  As such, the SEUL   
concept appeals to me.  I am fairly familiar, from a end-user   
perspective, with the Linux OS and am also very familiar with Windows   
software and what my staff and I have to do to get Windows software to do   
what we want.  SAS (especially the Insight module) is the closest thing   
we have to this kind of system.
