Hi Bill, I think for a new user, I would recommend TurboCad. I have used this(some years ago) and found it to be fairly easy to learn. There are some other really inexpensive(like 10.00) programs, but they are very limited in application. It really boils down to what you want to do with it. I use Autocad 2006 for work and school,It is pretty much the professional standard, but it is horribly expensive( something like $3800.00 full version), and you would most likely have to take instruction to use it..I had extensive experience in CNC machining and drafting before I learned CAD,and that helped a lot. Also keep in mind minnimum system requirements for the software. I had to buy a new computer to run my Autocad. Hope this helps.
