[ale] OT -- STATA on a unix server

[brobinso at tfn.net]

Thanks for the note.  I'm well familiar with that site, and should say to 
anyone else, it's the best place to hit the ground running with stata.

Political predilections, and a desire to keep my 155 dollars, prevent me 
from buying software.

I drive from Atlanta to Athens twice a week anyway, but would prefer not 
to make extra trips, nor stay all nite, just to use a computer.  It 
contradicts my understanding of the smart ways to use computers.

Thanks again.
