[sdiy] Free schmatic layout software

[Seb Francis]

While we're on the subject of correcting inaccuracies I feel I should 
point out that the Adobe software is in fact called Photoshop.    
Paintshop or more precisely Paint Shop Pro is the name of Jasc's (now 
bought by Corel) graphics software.

Seb

P.S. Circuits built from Adobe Photoshop drawn schematics definitely 
sound way warmer and phatter, so the steep learning curve involved with 
using this program is definitely worth it IMO.
