I am <STRONG> SO SICK </STRONG> of software companies whose
salesforce is better than thier programmers.  We bought a $50,000 CAD
system that is fulla bugs, hard to use, runs on a wierd operating
system, hard to learn and takes a year to become productive on.  P.S.
it won't draw circuit boards.  Phooey, what a waste.  Now the
political climate is such that I'd be canned for even saying this.
Give me plain old AutoCad any day.  (or PADS or Eagle)

PADS is definitely very popular.  Try the little guys, though.
You'll be surprised and pleased.


FOr anyone who wasn't paying attention yesterday, Myke Predko is
running a survey of our EDA software needs, with the goal of
convincing  a software company to tailor to us as a
market.  GO to http://www.myke.com and look for the survey there.
