I know that there are a few stat practitioners among us. So, if you are interested, www.giveawayoftheday.com has Stat Plus for free "today."

MyBase cloning
10/30/2007
I just discovered that one can create clones in MyBase 5.4--they are called "symbolic links."
To clone an item in MyBase press the ALT key while dragging the item you wish to clone to the desired pos...
One needs to be careful in distinguishing different types of "connections."
Addition and multiplication tables, when memorized, form a type of connection within the brain: 7 X 8 is connected to 56 a...
Manfred, no not irritated (indeed,I don't think you were); besides I tend not to notice such things, being more than irritating myself.
One thing I believe that we can all agree on: Storing informat...
Manfred,
It was your mention of the modeling of thinking as a neural net that led me to comment about the physical process of thinking, and to think about modeling thinking.
By the way, here is a us...

Steve Diamond's comments about thought processes are provoking. He is certainly correct about writing.
Did the invention of writing and reading increase the effective intelligence of people who pr...

Yes, the manual for UR is not too helpful for a newbie. Having recently started myself, I recommend that you start at Section 2.4, p.47. Even then, one needs to skim/skip much. What I started to d...

myBase update

I have also discovered that the WebCollect ver. 1.7 setup file is different from the Ver. 1.7 file I already had. I have requested info about this change.

Back in GV days, before MS Word became ascendant, I used GV for everything, even equations (for which I added printer codes). GV had more text formatting capabilities than Zoot has, apparently even n...
myBase update
10/20/2007
As of yesterday, there is a new, myBase version 5.4 at www.wjjsoft.com.
