Thank goodness someone figured out what I really intended... yes it is a
warning. I am not the only person that feels like this about Easy-PC. I
really don't care if I sell it or not !
I truly tried giving these people every opportunity to fix the well
documented bugs and even spent another $75 on the Version 5 upgrade,
only to find to a large extend the bugs are still there.
According to another eGroup a Company called West Dev purchased
NumberOne (Easy-PC) and are now selling a different program, it is
called Pulsonix...... the Schematic drawing portion of the program is
free, but the PCB layout portion costs several 1000 dollars... !
If you know Easy-PC and download the Pulsonix you will notice they are
very similar.
The point I'm trying to make is exactly as Harry saw it... its a
warning.
OK, I know I should not have purchased it. But 20/20 hind sight works
well for most people.
I gave them 15 months to fix the problems and have documented each and
every email, and phone call to these people, they simply do not make the
effort to fix bugs. They chose not to do so, and that's why they
ended up on my other web site http://www.sickofbugs.com

As it happens this crusade of mine has a positive side, I found
HomeBrew_PCB ....
I have been making my own PCB's for the last 35 years, from the early
days of painting copper clad boards by hand, to today when I make 8 mil
traces as an everyday affair. Examples of my home made PCB's are
scattered all over my web site. http://hans-w.com I silver plate my
boards, I expect you all know how to do that.
So I look forward to asking a few questions, mostly about how to do
through hole plating at home, other than conductive ink and electro
copper plating in sulfuric acid baths, does anyone have a good simpler
solution..
If I offended anyone, I'm sorry, and I apologize.
Best Regards
