DeskPcb software

DeskPcb software

2003-05-15 by spoothammer

Hello,

I am curious... Am I the only one foolish enough to purchase the most
poorly hacked-together software package in the universe? DeskPcb is an
incedible joke. It looks like it was abandoned by it's creators
(Carken Co.) and left to be sold by IMService. I have used $5
shareware software that was written with more care. It goes to show
that if you have the opportunity to try an application like DeskPCB
(which I did but did not failed to put it to the real test)..do so
before buying it. The hint should have been missing documentation!

Let's just see if anything is ever fixed in this abomination.

Caveat Emptor!

Bob

I just had a quick look at the website. They provide a time-limited demo, so
I suppose one can try it before buying it.
