I'm using PASW/SPSS18 on Windows 7 and it works fine - not tried using an earlier version of SPSS with Windows 7 though.

I used to read hard copies and write things by hand, but now I read from my laptop and type notes directly. It takes a while to get used to, but saves so much time.

So... we have a new Lib Dem - Conservative coalition to steer us through the next 5 years. I know already the Lib Dem manifesto commitments to funding research. But because this was not one of their priority areas, it's likely that Conservative policy will dictate on this issue. Does anyone know what their policies are on things like impact, REF, grant funding etc.?

Alrighty, sleep well. I'm gonna stay up a bit and see if the Lib Dems can win some more.

Lol yeah i think it does. Everyone else had the good sense to go to bed and have a final night dreaming of a decent election result. :p

I'm so disappointed, the Tories have 49.3% of the declared seats right now...

There we go, Labour torso with a Lib Dem hat. Hedging my bets as usual :p

Lol nice one. Maybe I shouldn't be wearing blue... :p

Excellent :-) Still waiting for mine. In my old one (Kirkcaldy), Brown got 65% of the vote, pretty impressive.

Yeah here's hoping for a hung parliament. I'm really hoping for a Lib-Lab coalition, fingers crossed.

Tories just overtaken Labour now: 102-99.

Beginning of the end now. Ah well. At least there's no Tories in Scotland yet.

Tories are steadily catching up with Labour: 73-76. :-(

They are increasing tax on pension contributions, capital gains, taxing the banks more, adding a mansion tax, freezing public sector pay and pensions, and scrapping Trident to fund their key priorities: education (class sizes and tuition fees), electoral reform and abolishing income tax on the first 10k you earn.

I think they are also the least likely to cut higher education funding as well, and changing the application process so that impact is not a contributing factor to funding.

Let's reprise this thread after the second leadership debate. :-) What did everyone think?

Personally I thought the Conservatives have obviously changed tack after last week and gone a lot more right wing - DC showed himself up in the discussion of European issues, and let NC get in what was for me the quote of the day: "How does it help anyone... to join together with a bunch of nutters, anti-semites, people who've denied climate change exists, homophobes?". I'm hoping that this will steer any protest votes against Labour away from the Conservatives at least. :-)

I found it extremely irritating when they stole each others catchphrases e.g. DC stealing 'get real' from GB, and GB stealing 'political pointscoring' from NC. One thing that gave me pause was that none were very convincing on pensions.

I live in Scotland so I don't have to worry about unexpected wins for the Conservatives. ;-) My vote goes to the Lib Dems as it has always done.
