Hi Wayne,

But there are already nice usenet forums under "news.cadsoft.de", also
with groups in English. Much easier user interface (newsreader) than via
a web portal.

This guy is always spamming those newsgroups, too. I'd much rather keep
to a forum that Cadsoft actually reads.
 
Hi

Far from being spam. I am active and trying to add choice and spend my own
time to achieve this for no gain.
news groups are full of viruses and I started this so that I can get support
without getting attached

Thanks

Wayne

Commendable.

But, Joerg is right on the money when he says "Much easier user interface

because of the sponsor interrupts and the fact that it is slow (I have a
dial-up connection).

news groups are full of viruses
Yahoo groups are full of advertising (which can admittedly be blocked),
can't be read offline and are much harder to archive locally. Plus
there is no guarantee that Yahoo won't say, tomorrow, "All groups now
cost $50 per month to maintain". Or maybe they will just discontinue
the service. All that material will disappear forever.

I'm very down on proprietary services that don't add VERY SIGNIFICANT
functionality to open solutions.

What kind of viruses? I never had one come through. I guess that depends
on the reader and possibly the browser if you open suggested links. And
maybe the firewall which in our case is HW based.
Real USENET articles are 100% ASCII - no attachments allowed.
The supposed "improvement" that allows some newsreaders to send
or receive attachments is Evil.

Real USENET articles "attach" files by referencing a web page by
WWW or FTP URL, because Real web pages *can* include files.
If you follow such a link, whether you get infected depends on
the virus resitance of your web browser and operating system,
not your newsreader. Which is exactly the case as with web-based
user groups taht contain URLs.
 
But is does not cost anything now. So while is does not you are free to
CHOOSE!

Hay, we seemingly live in a free world (with exception to a few states).

Quite a few of us living in a free world happen to agree with Guy.

About top posting, too.

Isn't Eagle pretty much a toy anyway? Last time I tried it, it seemed to be
"lacking". We do pcb design work here for companies, we use PADS 5. Any free
user group for that.

Enough companies use it as their ECAD tool
to keep CadSoft in business.
While many ECAD packages have fallen by the wayside,
becoming abandonware, EAGLE is still prosperous.
They must be doing something right.

While many criticize the irregular interface,
the bang-for-the-buck is there.

What got me was certain "weirdities". I HATED the automatic pad generation
on parts.

However, I have not used it in a couple years, perhaps it has grown up.
 
A very good freeware package that I have used for several years is Eagle
http://www.cadsoftusa.com/
You can either get support from Eagles good news group or the Yahoo group I
setup located at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eaglecad/

I am looking for something basic to use at home for small projects. I have
downloaded a few examples, PCB Wizard I like, Eagle Layout Editor seems
too
much. Has anyone used the PCB Wizard product? Any other recommendations?

I am also using the student version of CircuitMaker, which is GREAT! I
understand at one time it had with it a product "TraxMaker"? but sure
can't
find it in the version I have?

Thanks!
