What happens when you just download FasteR? Does it work for a limited period and then stop working, will it ask me for a license each time I start it?

Also, why would I pay €399 for FasteR while its main competitor is more mature and completely free? Aside from Excel add-in, the two other reasons I've found are in the comments here: "graphical user interface for selected packages/functions, support for multiple monitors". Am I missing something?

It was hard/impossible for me to read the R code in the video while playing it at 1080p.

There's a very interesting TED talk related to this, by Amy Cuddy (title: Your body language shapes who you are) - http://on.ted.com/Cuddy

Basically you can manipulate yourself into being calm by taking on a relaxed and confident body language. Sitting up, stretching out, taking in a lot of space, ..

I tried this several times and it does help, of course it doesn't make your stress vanish entirely.
