<BR>Well, it depends on who you know..I'm getting an unlimited pin version of
<BR>Orcad, and I don't believe it's even going to cost me the 25 cents for the
<BR>blank CD and the marker to write the key on it with. Now, I know some people
<BR>don't approve of this method, and neither do I for any commercial use, but if
<BR>it's only going to be used to make a few boards a year for personal use, I
<BR>don't see the point in going out and buying it. Just my $.02.
