That's the sound of a statistician or scientist laughing because s/he has some really cool software and didn't pay a dime for it, because it is open source.
Since we are talking about R, I thought I'd point you to a couple of screen shots. Here it is running on a Mac, and here it is running on a Linux box.
These images are about 200 K or so in size, and they come to us courtesy of The R Project for Statistical Computing

I've installed R on my MacBook Pro but haven't had the time to put it through its paces or dig much into the tutorial. I really need to, if only to show how often my automatic monitor and restart script detects and corrects Blackboard webserver failures.
A bit of log parsing, a bit of statistical wizardry, and I should get some pretty pictures of Blackboard periodically crapping itself. I might find some interesting correlations - who knows? It's a long shot, but there's probably a finite, non-zero probability that something other than greedy corporate ineptitude is to blame for Blackboard's awful reliability. I won't rule it out but I'm not holding my breath either...
