Bracknell-Forest Mac User Group
Welcome to the home page for the BFMUG, here in the UK. We hope you will find this site informative, useful, helpful or inspirational! The emphasis on this site (and indeed the group) is to provide a service to the local Apple Macintosh community. What the site doesn't try to do is provide information regarding the very latest Mac related news - there are plenty of other sites that do that... Anyway, have a read, see what you think and hopefully show your face at a meeting.
At present the facilities of this site are basic, but based on feedback and demand we hope to grow the provided capabilities.

 | Meetings: 2008/04/22 - 24th April BCS - Fifty Years in Space - A Software perspective |
Thursday 24 April 2008 (20:00..21:30), University of Surrey, Lecture Theatre-E Fifty Years in Space - a Software Perspective Pat Norris MBCS, LogicaCMG and Chairman of the RAeS Space Group Since the launch of Sputnik 50 years ago (October 4th 1957) the space age has helped push the boundaries of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT). In the 1960s the two main space applications were military surveillance and lunar exploration, both of which demanded more computing and communications capability than was available. Space projects still stretch what ICT can deliver for example in monitoring global change and in missile defence. The lecture will review the synergy between space and ICT during the first 50 years of the space age (based on the author's 40+ years involvement in both sectors) and draw some conclusions for the future. Attendance Certificates can be obtained at this event for inclusion in your Professional Development Portfolio. This event is open to Members and Non-Members. Students are particularly welcome. Please see website for further details. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Webmaster BCS Guildford Branch email: guildwebmaster@bcs.org.uk http://www.guildford.bcs.org

Turn Microsoft Excel for Mac into a Powerful Statistical Analysis Tool
AnalystSoft announces the release of StatPlus:mac, a revolutionary package that enables Mac users to perform data and statistical analysis in a familiar Microsoft Excel for Mac environment.
While there is no lack of dedicated data analysis tools on a Mac platform, there are still issues of cost and ease of use. The Mac platform is all about user friendliness and ease of use, making many heavy-duty statistical analysis tools white crows among native Mac applications. It is almost easier to get a Windows PC if one needs to perform statistical analysis as part of their daily routine!
The release of StatPlus:mac signifies a revolutionary change in the market of statistical tools for Macintosh users. It enables Mac users to perform complex statistical analysis and data management in the convenient, user-friendly environment provided by Microsoft Excel for Mac. Integrating with Microsoft Excel allows StatPlus:mac to offer its users a powerful upgrade path from Microsoft Excel data analysis into the world of heavy-duty, industry-standard statistical analysis tools while enjoying the same look and feel that Microsoft Excel for Mac users are used to.
While a great spreadsheet tool, Microsoft Excel was never considered to be a capable data analysis tool. Not anymore! StatPlus:mac allows Microsoft Excel for Mac users to perform all forms of data analysis from the very basics to complex analysis, including as GLM ANOVA, non-parametric and regression analysis, Probit and Latin squares analysis, and a wide variety of other methods.
StatPlus:mac offers consistent performance and repeatable results thanks to its fully featured, ISO compliant design. Supporting strict ISO standards such as ISO2602:1980, ISO 2854:1976 and ISO 3207:1975 places StatPlus:mac in line with the much more expensive stand-alone statistical packages.
Working in a medical company or a pharmaceutical lab? Working or studying business? Statistical data analysis is a part of your daily routine? Avoid the steep learning curve of stand-alone data analysis packages and upgrade Microsoft Excel for Mac statistical capabilities with StatPlus:mac and perform heavy-duty analysis in a user-friendly environment! StatPlus:mac offers a highly affordable price tag that's well within reach of industry workers and business professionals as well as university students and teachers.
StatPlus:mac supports Microsoft Excel 2004 for Mac and the Beta version of Microsoft Excel 2008 for Mac. StatPlus:mac is available at http://www.analystsoft.com/en/products/statplusmac/ for free download. The promo cost of registering the program is 200 US Dollars; discounts for academic institutions, such as colleges, universities, schools and research labs are available.
