Well my homebrew computer uses about 125 TTL ( We
don't need no stinking
VLSI ) that I plan to build with the CPU on about 6 6 x 8 inch PCB's.
That layout sounds like real work to me. The price of the software buys
a lot of TTL.
Well, If you can settle for 4 x 6 inches (roughly), you can get everything
needed for $125. That seems not too bad to me, for software I actually like
to use, as opposed to "can get by with".
Agreed, the $1200 (that I paid) for the unlimited version is a ton of money
for software. (Maybe you are the target audience for PCB123 :-).)
On the other hand, I was just not impressed with the alternatives to Eagle.
