[Blindmath] Introduction

[Christine Szostak]

Hi,
  R is not the company name, but rather a spoof name based on an earlier 
more elaborated stats software package produced by the same company, Bell 
Labs???? called S+. If my memory is mis-serving, anyone should feel free to 
correct my recollection.

  by the way, welcome to the list. I am a graduate student studying 
cognitive psychology at Ohio State.
Many thanks,
Christine
