I use autotrax (protel now free one - not the
new thing called autotrax) and it dates back
to DOS itself.
I LOVE the weird alien keystrokes and have been
holding off getting new windows based SW
becuase they all do weird things like CTRL+C
for copy. Its just not as natural as
B-D-B-C-Y.
But then again - I thought WordStar editing
keys where very useable.
CTRL+K-B, CTRL+K-K, CTRL+K-C
And word perfect 5.1 for DOS. It makes
perfect sense to press SHIFT+F7-1 when you want
to print.
But seriously guys - the UI is pretty unimportant
isn't it ? It's like saying a honda CB250 is a
better family car than a volvo becuase it comes
in red.
Isn't what the PCB SW does and doesn't do more
important than the colour of the paint job ?
