EXHIBIT 23.2

          Explanation Concerning Absence of Current Written Consent of
                               Arthur Andersen LLP

Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
provides that if part of a registration statement at the time it becomes
effective contains an untrue statement of a material fact, or omits a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, any person acquiring a security pursuant to such registration
statement (unless it is proved that at the time of such acquisition such person
knew of such untruth or omission) may assert a claim against, among others, an
accountant who has consented to be named as having certified any part of the
registration statement or as having prepared any report for use in connection
with the registration statement.

Forrester dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") as its independent
auditors, effective April 1, 2002. For additional information, see Forrester's
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
April 5, 2002. After reasonable efforts, Forrester has been unable to obtain
Andersen's written consent to the incorporation by reference into Forrester's
registration statements (Form S-8 Nos. 333-16905, 333-22749, 333-96393,
333-38626, 333-99749, and 333-99751) (collectively, the "Registration
Statements") of Andersen's audit report with respect to Forrester's consolidated
financial statements as of December 31, 2001, and for the two years in the
period then ended (the "Financial Statements"). Under these circumstances, Rule
437a under the Securities Act permits Forrester to file this Annual Report on
Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statements,
without consents from Andersen. As a result, with respect to transactions in
Forrester securities pursuant to the Registration Statements that occur
subsequent to the date this Annual Report on Form 10-K is filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, Andersen will not have any liability under
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act for any untrue statements of a material fact
contained in the Financial Statements or any omissions of a material fact
required to be stated therein. Accordingly, you would be unable to assert a
claim against Andersen under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act. To the extent
provided in Section 11(b)(3)(c) of the Securities Act, however, other persons
who are liable under Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, including Forrester's
officers and directors, may still rely on Andersen's original audit reports
as being made by an expert for purposes of establishing a due diligence defense
under Section 11(b) of the Securities Act.
