I get a chuckle every time I read some referring to SPSS. 32 years ago,
I got my first job in college helping to administer an old IBM 360
computer at college. The majority of users were social scientists at a
neighboring college running SPSS (Statistics Package for the Social
Sciences). It is amazing to me that all these long years later,
researchers are still using this software package. Multivariate
analysis hasn't changed much in the intervening years, though, I suppose.
