    I'm going to learn me some Eagle.... one of the few available for OSX as far as I'm aware... or one of the few that anyone will actually recommend, anyway.

    Here is one from New Zealand -

    Hutson Systems
    http://www.hutson.co.nz/

    I downloaded it yesterday and had a bit of a look. There are some things missing but considering the price and that this is only version 1.0x it looks like pretty good value for money. I always try the demo with out looking at the help file as I find this a good indication of ease of use. I just can't relate to Eagle but maybe thats because I'm so use to Protel ?

    Here are a couple more I don't think have been listed...

    TinyCAD for Windows
    http://tinycad.sourceforge.net/Links.html

    Autotrax (no relation to the old Protel DOS version)
    http://www.autotraxeda.com/

    Roger Lascelles VCad Page (this is a Veroboard layout program that uses Netlists)
    http://www.geocities.com/rogerlasau/VCad.html

    There are some OS offerings as well, though not all work on Windows.

    I use QCAD.
    My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.

    Not as dumb as yesterday, but stupider than tomorrow!

    Man, there's so many choices out there. I have tried AutotraxEDA (which will soon be available on OSX apparently) on windows, and it sucked. Certain things caused it to crash completely without responding, and sometimes it would take a minute or two to startup, even though it apparently wasn't actually doing anything. AFAIK it's being developed by only one guy... he has a lot of faith in it, but it seems pretty terrible to me.

    Eagle seems pretty wierd to me too - the only reason I wanted to learn it was because it runs on OSX.

    I wonder if a commercial version of the express PCB suite is available, its super extra simple to learn, but its main drawback is that you cannot print the circuit, you only can send the circuit to them

    Has anyone used Easy PC? The demo is seriously impressive. It costs around $450 USD, but if its as good as it looks, it may be worth it....

    Looks like my PC will hang around for a few years to come....
