Thanks Arttu. I've already 'data mined' by hand, found some stuff
that's working for me and need to track it using charts and tables in
an easy manner. If I can handle the R programming for doing this then
this will work fine.

That said it was a lot of work to data mine by hand so down the road
when it's time to do more then I'll likely want to look at something
like Weka.
