I have used it, however, because I am a cheapskate I use the free QGIS programme which is a pretty good open-source substitute. GIS is up and coming. its where it goes I wonder! THe problem with info systems is it relies on the info... and as we know archaeology consists of that which we know... and misses all the rest. So there is no point in doing an spatial analysis of neolithic settlement in the UK for example, given the number of known sites, which does not relate to the number there would have been.... of course it has many good uses... hence I like it!
Damn but I have just confused myself!
