LabVIEW vs. E-Prime

LOL!  I don't know that E-Prime does any better, but I defer to your judgment.

Yikes!  (Although I found a note from 2007 showing a "base price" of 
$1200.)  By comparison, if you ask you can still get a full EP1 
license for $700.  As for the current EP2 product, as detailed at the 
PST sales site, (http://www.pstnet.com/products/e-prime/#Pricing ) a 
single "Professional" license runs $1000, what I call the "base" 
edition runs a mere $800 for one license, and you can get a 
"run-time" license (no E-Studio hardware key) for $125.  Network 
licenses and quantity discounts are also available.

>Are you familiar with LabVIEW then?

As it turns out, I have been told by a user in our organization that 
we have a site license for LabVIEW, so I could explore it for no 
charge!  Now if only I had the time to spare...
