Feedback to Apple?
I've been generally pleased with OS X. My main problem (not so much R related) is that many of the scientific applications I would like to run on my machine don't like the UNIX "based" operating system and require significant tweaking in order to get them to compile correctly (if I can get them running at all). It would be nice if OS X behaved more like standard UNIX or LINUX. Best, Randy

Hello fellow R users! I'm currently serving as a committee member at MacResearch.org, a website devoted to science, math, and statistics on Macs. In about two weeks, we'll be visiting Apple to talk about issues, needs, desires of science users and developers: http://www.macresearch.org/ macresearch_science_related_requests_for_apple So I was writing to ask if you have particular questions or concerns which I can proxy? I think this is particularly important, since none of the other MacResearch representatives are statistics folks. (I'm a chemist -- I'm a happy user of R for data exploration and analysis.) For example, are all the R.app compiler problems solved? Do we need graphing/plotting libraries for visualization from Apple? What feedback can I pass along?
