I have to agree that Protel99SE does what I need it to do. And I have used it long enough to know the workarounds. The price of upgrading looks too high and a new seat is outrageous! Add to that the ATS price and I will be staying with 99SE.

That would hopefully let them understand we are serious when we say 'We are not buying this anymore'. We made the mistake of blindly buying Protel 98, and were very disappointed. When 99 came out, we said "NO WAY", and kept using what we had. When 99SE came out, I tried it with trepidation, assuming it would be even worse. But, it worked well, solved some shortcomings in the earlier software, so we then upgraded. But, we will look long and hard before paying for any more upgrades. The need to do something major that we can't do now would be the only reason to upgrade. Protel 99SE pretty much does what it is supposed to do for schematic => PCB. Maybe people using microvias or something might need more features.
