[sdiy] pcb / circuit layout software

[Mountain Man]

Hi,

I'm interested in finding an easy-to-use (read: beginner) pcb layout /
circuit design program.  I want at least something that will provide a
graphical interface with pcb and circuit diagram views; something that
will allow me to do simulations as well,  would be a plus.  I've been
surfing the web, and have downloaded several programs including: Eagle,
Qcad, ExpressPCB, and PCB developer's assistant.  I haven't gotten what
I want with any of these.  They are either inacessible to the novice (no
way to avoid getting lost in long lists of cryptic part numbers, for
example), or don't provide for both a pcb and a circuit diagram view.
Can anyone recommend a program for Win 98 that has a good interface, a
reasonable feature set, and is accessible to a novice?  It doesn't need
to be freeware - I'm willing to pay a moderate price, but I do want to
try a demo version before buying.

Thanks very much,
Elby
