Diptrace is so damn easy to use for someone who has never used anything
before its beyond belief, forget the schematic bit just jump into pcb
layout, drop parts where you want them, link the pins, press autorout and
its done!

Only issue I have with free version is the total pin limit and that you can
only 'print' to a windows printer but hey if your doing TT thats just what
you want!

Its really stable, but have had about 3 hangs when routing, so save before
routing.

And you can edit / add to the parts librarys to change things to your own
liking.


I did try eagle, but kept getting a feeling of a dos program pretending to
be a windows app, and being a son of gates I just could not use it.........
