    My wife and I are confirmed 'gadge-holics':-D though I am the one using technology for gainful employment.

    Love Pluralsight's stuff when I have the time which is almost never...

  • RE: Where Do You Run Your R Scripts?

    Reading the replies above, and by way of analogy, I was reminded of a deposition I was given about 40 years ago. A lady had fallen in a health spa...
