There's also CadSoft's Eagle software. I don't have any experience with it, but it's been around as a product line for years, and there are versions to run on Windows, Linux, and Mac. As for me, I like Protel 99SE and will continue to use it for a long time. The only things I can forsee that would make me switch are: 1) If I cannot keep W2K running on PC hardware, or it cannot be made to run in a Windows emulator on Linux. 2) Something else comes along that is much better, and easy to evaluate before buying, and costs less. 3) Some new whizbang gotta-have PCB technology comes along that cannot be done by 99SE's capabilities. Don't know what this would be, maybe n-dimensional quantum resonant tunneling substrates with buckyball composite high-temperature superconductive layers. Yes, that was something I just made up - now excuse me while I patent it ;-) Best regards, Ivan Baggett Bagotronix Inc. website: www.bagotronix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Reagan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Protel EDA Discussion List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 12:53 PM Subject: RE: [PEDA] Message to Altium !!! > Protel Hell > > Glad you found different software.
