Subject:      Re: What makes SAS unique?

I'm sure others can provide even more but, for starters:

*more data manipulation capabilities
*more analytical capabilities and routines
*more user control concerning how statistics are computed
*more current users (I think), thus more individuals to collaborate with
*more speed
*more interfaces with current technological and analytical trends
