- As a "standard" person I fugured out long agao that i'd better develope
- my own resources if I wanted to keep on top of what's going on. In the
- case of SAS, I've discovered the User Group. That's how I found out about
- Proc SQL. I first encountered it during SUGI 16 and then at a meeting of
- of NOTSUG sown in Dallas. SAS-L is another valuable resource. Programmers
- who use the Users Group will be at no one's mercy.
-
- So much for my soap box.
