Re: Electronics software

 Spice. Urggghh (shudders). It seems wierd, though, that all the
electronics resources I use on the net are based on *.hut.fi. They have
everything I've ever needed (VGA 2 PAL circuit diagrams, for example), and
I've never found anywhere else quite as good for amateur electronics... ho
hum, just an observation ;)
Cheers,

Alex.

PS. One thing I've never found - pcb routing software. Not that I use it
anyway, I generally find that routing software only works on double-sided
or better. How awful.
