Why call the original poster of this thread a doofus for wanting his students to go beyond limits with a tool they can use indefinitely? Such methods allow free hardware, and student-powered-free-hardware is a real boon if you ask me. The gEDA tools are getting close to being useful even to a grade conscious, hurried grad student aimed at a corporate job. I noticed an article we should all read about the Orcad developers and their user interface, and it wouldn't hurt if we all ran a limited Orcad version so we could see it in action. http://www.edn.com/article/CA6666236.html?text=improving+on+pcb+design But when it gets down to really making a difference in the world a classroom exercise followed by never affording your own tools and only developing circuits or products for your employing corporation is not enough.
