Homebrew PCBs

a net in eagle is a number of pins that are electically connected 
together - kind of the way you would logically think of it.  It has a 
name.  You dont have to actually draw them as connected.  Any nets 
you name Gnd, for example, will be connected together.   This is 
great for doing a schematic with out making a wiring mess in the 
drawing.  I use it all the time.  

A bus is a set of parallel nets with a common name, say "Bus", and 
each net has a sub name - Bus1, Bus2, Bus3...  Its used mainly for, 
shock!, creating busses and keeping them tidy on the schematic.
