Ethnograph it is

I finally made a decision on which qualitative data analysis software to buy: Ethnograph. My only reservation about Ethnograph is that there is no user group or listserv of users. Otherwise, it looks like Ethnograph will do everything I need and then some.

I'm still struggling with defining categories. As I've said before, defining categories is hard for me. I'm hoping Ethnograph will make this task a little easier for me.

On a completely unrelated note: Lily is trying to decide on a theme for her May birthday party. She's considering all the usual ones for a rising 4-year old, like Dora, Peter Rabbit, etc., but she's added one to the mix that I'm sure is not typical: a rat theme. I wonder how many people will be interested in attending a rat party.
