[sdiy] KiKad users ?

[James Patchell]

Hi Harry...

     That is really funny.  We are still Evil Twins.

     I also chose KiKad after evaluating the various PCB and Schematic 
Capture options for Windoze.

     I really haven't had much of a chance to do much with it.  The 
current project I am doing I am still using my old copies of ORCAD 9.2 
and Protel 2.7.  The protel program is the big problem since it is 
Win16, which is one step above DOS, and it will not run on anything past 
Vista (:-o).

     I like KiKad because it was more or less based off of the old DOS 
version of ORCAD.

     Guess I will have to try and start working wiht it again.

     -Jim
