Re: (a bit OT) PCB Design Software

[nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Dave Houston)]

I also have Circuit Layout along with the companion schematic software

I've looked at a few others recently but really haven't found anything I
feel as comfortable with.

You might try the forums at Spark Fun Electronics.

Olimex has a page with links (some obsolete) to many layout apps. Click on
the "Design Tools" link.
