Hi Stephen,

I downloaded R for OS X (RAqua) and am impressed. It seems quite  
powerful and the Mac implementation is very nice. It could use some  
GUI based tools for manipulating graphics (for example, clicking on a  
label to move it or change its font, etc.) It reminds me a little of  
the APL language, which is cryptic but extraordinarily elegant and has  
a similar approach to arrays.

Cheers,

wn
