I second that ... I first purchased AB when it 4.3 and left it for a
while to test other in my opinion well overhyped analytics programs.
I only recently returned to AB after realizing that once you spend
some time trying to understand the language it becomes simpler and now
with all the third party dll's it becomes even more robust.
Moreover, this forum is one of the best I have ever been a part of.
I recomment AB to anyone who asks. Well done guys
