[Gretl-users] Gretl Thanks

Hello Gretl List, There has much increasing activity on the list, a good sign I think. It seems like a good time to thanks to Allin, Jack, et al, for all the work they have put into Gretl. I TA'd Colorado State's EC335, took the time-series EC435, and the grad econometric classes EC535, EC635, and EC735. For nearly all the work Eviews was the system of choice (I did get the 335 instructor to use Gretl). Eviews had a steep learning curve, so I wrote short papers on how to use Eviews that are still being circulated among the grad students, as the program seems to be a nightmare for those trying to learn econometrics and econometric software at the same time. Now I have my own econometrics class to teach at University of Northern Colorado. I started my students off on Gretl and have not heard a whimper. They are just running regressions. In fact, I've showed a couple of tricks with the command line and session window only to hear, "cool" from the group. So, not only my thanks to the Gretl folks, but congratulations on building and maintaining a truly great piece of intuitive and useful software. Peter
