not to forget _reliability_. I want a tool that I don't need to fix all the time .That costs me more money than anything else . I would be very upset if my car stalled on a busy highway. I would be upset if my supplier didn't finish my boards on time. I would be upset if my accountant didn't do what he was supposed to do. I am equally upset when I spend inordinate amounts of time and money on PC's, then pc upgrades, then os upgrades, then software upgrades, then driver upgrades, then more upgrades and patches to cure some of the problems the previous upgrades created. It is almost to the point where it negates the benefits of automating the tasks at all . As I said, computing raw power is quite enough for the trivial tasks of schematic capture and pcb layout plus some simulations. CAD programs and office applications had enough versions and revisions under their belt to implement most of the major functions I needed. I have workarounds for what's still missing . All my cad programs started on slower machines and ran fine on win95/98/nt4 . Until I am absolutely forced by CAD software unavailability for my existing platforms, and by technology shifts , there's no more upgrades for my company. Period.
