Orcad vs. Open Source

I hope this won't turn into an Open Source vs the world flame war. :^)

I think you took his comments out of context. His comment about "good stuff" was in regard to ...

**************************************************** What do you say about these software then?

- Linux kernel

- gcc

- PostGresql

- Mozilla

****************************************************

I am the one saying that I think FreePCB is an amazingly good tool considering that it was developed by a single person in his spare time. Whether it is good enough to use professionally is not a matter of fact, but is up to each user to decide.

I think Habib's point is that there are some very good and much used (professionally) open source programs out there. So the idea that an open source program ***can't*** be good enough to use professionally is simply not accurate given the facts.

I would rather discuss the specifics of various programs than to argue the idea of good and evil of open source.

..thus solving the "hard(er) to find it on the schematic" problem with ordering the part numbers by board location vs. schematic location.

In such cases, a grid system can be a big help. You usually have to keep the components back a bit from the edges, so there is room to put a row of numbers on the X-Axis and a row of letters on the Y-Axis. This is especially beneficial when working with parts lists, where an extra column with the grid location is easy to fit in.

I am using Netscape because of the historical reasons, not because there =

is something good or special about it. It is just too much of work to=20 transfer all of the data and settings gathered through many years to IE/O= E.

You're absolutely right. I have been taking the idiot much too seriously.
