I'd suggest that anything to do with Eagle for example would be [EE], and anything CAD that helps make better PCBs for eg PICs to go on, or enclosures, machining, milling etc Not directly related to PICs, soldering, components, etc - [TECH]. If there is or could be a schematic - [EE] USB at the electrical level - [EE] or [PIC]. USB as a back-up strategy for a PC - [TECH]. Unless maybe it's got a PIC in it or it's an [EE] hack for example, then it could get 'promoted' Software - hmmm. Directly related to better engineering - [EE]. Win or Linux as general OS's IMO don't qualify as [EE]. A particular part of an OS might be appropriate in [EE] or even [PIC], for example specific s/w, drivers, interfacing (as per USB above), that sort of thing. But otherwise, probably [TECH] -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
