What a doofus. You can get any free-trial/limited commerical software and hmmmmmm formulate the lesson to fit within the restrictions... Electronics text books include 1 or several restricted commercial cad softwares for this purpose. I don't see anything wrong with teaching to a linux/mac application. Since linux is free it should not be too much trouble for students to install it if just for the semester. --- On Sat, 8/1/09, John Griessen <j...@ecosensory.com> wrote:

One cross-platform toolset to make his academic life easier.... from [1]http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/08/01/2114210/Cheap-Cross-Platfor m-Electronic-Circuit-Simulation-Software?from=rss "Cheap, Cross-Platform Electronic Circuit Simulation Software? "students increasingly are switching to Mac (and some Linux netbooks). Wine and its variants will not run OrCad, and I don't wish to require students to purchase Windows and run with a VM. The only production-quality cross-platform CAD tool I have found so far" Sounds slightly encouraging to me.
