Hi Rod, Well, this is not a front end for the Spice that you have. (Spice is good, and very useful, but it's not so much 'drag and drop' as it feels like you're asking for.)
When I was in school, I was told of this simulator by a classmate, and it was a wonderful thing to get a sense of what is actually going on. At the time it was a Java-only version, but I see that now they also have a javascript version. At the very least, you can download the Java files and run them locally. Anyway, check it out here: http://www.falstad.com/circuit/ There are very similar apps (as far as ease of use and visual feedback) for both iOS and Android. I have purchased the paid version of a few, and if you're interested in those I can go digging and see what they are. I only really use them when we're on vacation and I have an idea I want to check out, so I haven't used them in a while. Not as powerful or easy to use as desktop programs, but of course very portable.
