Certificate of appreciation

I’m including this in my performance review. Oh wait, I don’t get performance reviews, I’m the president.

A miracle has occurred and I have had time to spend evaluating two things that have been on my to-do list forever, JMP and SAS Enterprise Miner. Both of these products are produced by SAS and the first interesting point is that knowing SAS won’t really help at all. That isn’t to say that having…
