LabVIEW 2009 Student Edition Mac/Win CD

Hello,
Is anyone here familiar with this product?
I am wondering if this would be a good 13th B-day gift for my son. He is an aspiring engineer/physicist who is fairly computer proficient.
Thanks.

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Yes, there is always an experiment that he�d like to run. Unfortunately, due to ds having to commutes an hour to and from school every day, he hasn�t had time to work his ideas. (His project plans essentially consist of several lasers and a glass sphere, so I think he�d actually need a lab too).

He is completing a simple school assigned physics exercise as I write for which he has annotated all data on graph paper.

The K-12 price is $79.99, which I realize is a huge discount. Still, I think I would have to ask him if it would be of interest.
I appreciate your help.
