[sdiy] Protel spam?

[Alex]

Hello


I once used a trial version of Protel99. Well it wasn't that bad. And the
3D-View of the circuit
board was a funny feature, too. But now I use Target 3001. A great
PCB/schematic software package
from a small german company (http://www.ibfriedrich.com). It contains a very
good autorouter
(contour & shape based) and cost less than a tenth of Protel (about 400
bucks, the 1000pin limited version).
But in most projects I do the most of routing in my brain, as it's really
hard to get good results in critical designs.

What the heck is this with protel stuff, they still try to reach me
for buying their SOOOO good pcb-software...

Not to be annoying or anything, but...

Why let software rout when its much more of a mindjob to fix the
pcb yourself, I did... with a waterproof marker on transparents...

Now i just use Boardcreator 5.0, freeware, and does the job at 285
kB... (INCLUDING THE ALREADY 200 LOADED COMPONENTS...)

so im just gona have to ignore the protel division?

Anyone?
