When I started reading Q-Method, one issue on my mind was how I would be
able to do the required statistics for a Q study.  I had neither access to
a mainframe nor funds for either a general-purpose (SPSS-PC, etc.) or
special-purpose program for the PC.  Perhaps some of your students are in
the same boat.

I ended up buying Mathcad for Windows for $99 and creating my own templates
for interactive centroid factor analysis and judgmental rotation (based on
Steven Brown's _Political Subjectivity_).  My templates are available free
to anyone who can use them, which is probably nobody at the moment.
However, I thought I'd pass the word along that they are available, and
that Mathcad is once again being heavily discounted via direct mail ($79.99
under their "preferred scientist/engineer discount program").

I welcome any interested parties to contact me via private email for more
information.
