I would upgrade if they would simply offer us laggers a reasonable fixed
upgrade price. The more upgrades that occur, the more expensive it is, and
less likely it is that I will upgrade. The next version will likely be
better, and add additional modules I don't need, and the increased price to
upgrade will probably scare me away again. I can't imagine I'm the only one
in this situation.
I don't need the FPGA support. I just need a decent program for schematic
capture and PCB design. That's it. Protel used to be the perfect program
for that. Protel is complete overkill for that now. I don't see that
Protel wants me as a customer, so I don't think it is unreasonable to ask
members of this forum if there is anything out there that may fit my minimal
needs a bit more economically. Any recommendations?
Download the Pulsonix demo (I've mentioned it before on this forum):
http://www.pulsonix.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PulsonixUG/
It will read Protel designs and libraries. Pulsonix will let you have a 30 day full license if you want to evaluate it more fully.
