[sdiy] PCB/Schematic software

[Tim Parkhurst]

Hi Harry,

I'll put in a vote for KiCAD. It has it's quirks, but it is easy to
use, generates very nice output, and it's free. I've used it for all
my Magic Smoke boards. Not sure whether it'll take an LTspice netlist
though. That would be a cool feature if it did.

Definitely worth a look though.
