Electronics WorkBench Purchase?

Apr 24, 2005 10 Replies

I found a site on the web that disposes of software, one of the products is a complete version of Electronics WorkBench. I am trying to find if it's student, etc. It's version 7, which is "the last version". Any comments if I can get this for a few hundred dollars?

LT Spice is free and much better. EWB is mediocre at best; I dumped it long ago when I found lethal bugs and dishonest business practices.

If it isn't Spice compatible, leave it. You might be better of by downloading LTSpice anyway.

I though they were offering him a few hundred dollars to take it away. LT Spice (or SuperSpice if you prefer it and will pay a little) is the way to go for most people.

I have to agree with this:-)

I am still staggered that anyone uses EWB. It is truly dreadful.

I Totally Agree that EWB, SUCKS. It is about the most useless program I have ever bought and it cost me almost $1000.00 for the Professional Version.

They sent me a brochure trying to sell me their microwave version because "Spice doesn't work above 100 MHz"

No, I'm not making this up!

I use it for drawing my circuits and do basic testing. I don't find it that dreadful, but then I'm not an EE either so I can't say what's so bad about it.

Illegal, too!

They changed the name from EWB to Multisim to screw the people who bought EWB with promised lifetime free upgrades.

Why not get LT Spice for free?

Bloody amazing. I try and restrict my vacuous marketing claims to:

"The leading professional standard for ease of use and functionality in affordable analogue and mixed-mode simulation software."

The reason being is, that I *personally* don't think any others are "easy to use", so mine must be the leading one:-)

Anything that is subjective is game for anyone to cliam!
