And sadly, this is just one more reason why. I have to say that it sometimes (more often than not) galls me to watch this company's practices. Nick had a truly great idea, and regardless of the innane flaws, I do love Protel software for EDA work, but the flaws are so obvious that it makes me wonder who's running the ship, whether in the programming department or elsewhere: the brains or a select group of strong-armed monkeys. Having read Ayn Rand's work, it just smells too familiar... Cream scrapers are a scummy lot.
Maybe it's time qualified people at Altium start to wake up and realize that. Watch the slackers, find their weaknesses, and get their worthless derrieres (delicate, ain't I?) fired. >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Moore >Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 7:09 PM >To: 'Protel EDA Discussion List' >Subject: Re: [PEDA] Protel compatible manufacturer files > > >Hi aj, > >snip... >> and I'm surprised that Protel (and now Altium) hasn't gone a little >> further towards this end.
