I rushed to LinuxCad.com, credit card in hand, hoping that you were being over critical about their site but, I see what you mean. Everything is wrong about the site. There is a 'restricted demo' available at $35 or - did you notice? - you can purchase the full version from the top of the page for $89 or, if you prefer, a download version is offered at the foot of the page for $99 !! Let's face it, only a fool would *not* buy a program as good as Autocad for $99 and practically every free demo cd that was issued would result in a sale. For them to charge $35 (non creditable against a full purchase) for a demo cd speaks volumes. The site is either; terrible marketing of an excellent product, in which case they won't sell many copies else excellent marketing of a terrible product, in which case they will earn a few dollars from selling the demo cd's. Sad, I hope it is a good product and if so, I hope they sell lots of copies so that I might bump into it working in a drawing office one day. If I do and if it's good, I;I'll be rushing back to their site. Fingers crossed ! Idealist
