I like the short text that you wrote. Maybe gretl's generally high speed
could be mentioned, and/or its tested accuracy.
And I like this screenshot, but I'm probably biased:
http://1.2.3.13/bmi/gretl.sourceforge.net/shots/impulse.png
[Trying to catch up] Thanks, Sven. I like that screenshot too but
* there seems to be some horrible rash of javascript injection at
sourceforge (or the internet generally?); the correct URL is just
http://gretl.sourceforge.net/shots/impulse.png
* it's really more of a gnuplot showcase, though maybe if something
similar were put alongside the gretl window that generated it...
