Reality check: 
SAS has a product called JMP that is out for the MAC that is very
nice.  It is not SAS it is a fully interactive and graphical stats
package.  I have spoken with SAS employees (not just salesbeings) and
the concensus is that a straight port of SAS wouldnt sell on the MAC.
They are appearantly moving SAS towards a more modern software architecture
where it will work nicely on graphics "workstations". In the future.
