In this article, we identify key trends in the development of statistical, graphical, and word processing software for the social scientist. We examine the trends from the perspective of the social scientist with a typical background in applied statistics, intent on developing a high-power, low-cost personal workstation for data analysis and manuscript production. Keywords: statistics, graphics, word processing, microcomputer software.
