[sdiy] Proteus/DesignSpark

[Tom Bugs]

I'll make a mental note of Design Spark - looks like a good piece of 
software to be able to recommend to people (eg. in workshop events) - 
people are often put of by the cranky of Eagle.

But -- more views on Proteus?
As I said in the orig. email - it is the integration of simulation that 
is particularly of interest.
I have nothing pushing me to  leave Eagle - I have become very 
comfortable with it.
That's why I probably wouldn't leave it for something similar (Design 
Spark).

Cheers, Tom
