R was mentioned in last week's (I think) O'Reilly newsletter, which
included a link to a short article showing how easy it is to get R to
graph stuff like stock price histories.  That's the publisher, not the
talking head.

For what it's worth, the article isn't worth chasing down.  It left a
beginner like me disappointed that R's capabilities weren't better
shown, and that he relied on Perl to do data manipulation.
