[sdiy] OT: Help with Eagle CAD

[Michael Ruberto]

Thanks for all the help. I am having a better time using the program and 
actually starting to like it. Unfortunately, the limitations in the freeware 
version do not allow me to build the PCB I need. So yet again I cannot save 
money by using the cheaper boardhouse because I'd have to pay $400 for the 
full version of EaglePCB. Checkmate it seems, I cannot afford such things on 
military pay.
Until, I find another free or at least affordable PCB program I guess I will 
start to research the cost of making the PCB myself. After all, I started my 
career in a boardhouse ;-)
