[time-nuts] potential source for cheap copy of labview

[Dave Daniel]

Thanks for that update. I hadn't looked on the Mathworks website in 
quite some time.  I looked again after seeing your post, and I see that 
a "home bundle" is once again available. This is what I have from 1999.

I have also used Octave, although not as much as I have used MatLab and 
Simulink.
