I love telling folks that I ran my first SPSS programs in 1976... and that I haven't run one since. I was in high school. I keypunched and submitted card decks for a researcher back when "SPSS" still stood for Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. SPSS has long since reinvented itself as a predictive analytics vendor. As numerous commentators have pointed out, the company's data mining capabilities will fill a gap in IBM's product line on completion of the announced acquisition and put new heat on rivals including SAS, SAP, and Oracle.

He and SPSS do deserve credit for promoting wide commercial deployment of text technologies that had previously been accessible only to researchers.
