looking for the "perfect" software

Flow users,

We have recently purchased a used Coulter XL Epics (1994, 3 color).  I
am trying to find an efficient way to analyze data (particularly in
messy spleen cell populations).  Since we have an older model computer
(486-66 DTX) with little memory we would like to transfer the data and
analyze it on a more powerful PC.   My question is what software would
you suggest?  Although we are not a clinical lab we still do many of the
same experiments multiple time and would like to save template layouts.
My experience is with CellQuest but recently we have being evaluating
"WinMDI".  My impression thus far is that although the graphics are
beautiful and the price is right,  it is tedious to crank through data,
i.e. there are several steps needed to generate one graph and one must
do this over and over.  Am I missing something?  What other software
would be useful to evaluate?

Thank you  in advance for your suggestions and advice.

Keri Tate
