Oh I agree Dave for several reasons (not least of all that Excel is not free, nor is it math based). However I have to admit that I have not been happy with any non-Excel program for just "teaching" probability and statistics. Too complicated and the kiddies will give up. It took me 4 days to get this simulation in Sage going (I think it works now) and I gave up in GeoGebra without a fight. (Please don't think that I think Mathematica, et.al. any better. If anything they are even more complicated, not to mention costly.) I just want it to be relatively simple and mathematical to empirically test stuff :)
