Next time,
use kicad, diptrace or something useful. Eagle sux.
I'm not going to defend
Eagle, but I'm unfamiliar with diptrace - what
makes it better? I use Eagle because it works on any computer I'm
likely to be sitting
and and because there are lots of examples and user-contributed parts.
I'm not opposed to switching tools, but I'd rather not switch tools
just to spend all my time creating libraries for classic computer
components. If another tool has better libraries and is easier to
use, then I'm all for it.
I use Altium Designer, but I admit it is too expensive for (legal) hobby
use :o)
I do believe in Diptrace. But KICAD is getting better and better
everyday. More libraries and a very active development. Maybe you'll want to
take a look at it :)
