Hi Tom,

I use DesignSpark, and like it pretty well. Compared to Eagle, which I 
used for years, DesignSpark has a much more normal user interface--i.e., 
you can select things and drag them around, duplicate them, etc., 
without having to select another tool. The 3D board view is useful. For 
the photographic process I use to make boards, its PDF export is quite 
good. It can convert my old Eagle files to a degree.

If DesignSpark goes away, I'll probably look for something else, but, 
for now, I'm happy with it.

Thanks,

Ole
