Question about R software and output
It's conceivable that functions in a contributed package would
communicate/transmit or receive data from a remote server, but base R
does nothing like that (unless you explicitly ask it to).

To whom it may concern, My understanding is that the R software is downloaded from a CRAN network and data is imported into it using Microsoft Excel for example. Could I please just double check whether any data or results from the output is held on external servers or is it just held on local files on the computer?
