Although it is nice to get an honest opinion of
EasyPC, I don't want this to turn into a group for
ads.

What does everyone think? Ban ads? Ads allowed only on
one day a month, like some other lists? Free-for-all?

A quote from the auction: "I'm hoping I'm not the only
idiot in the world for buying this trash! I don't
know, may be you think Easy-PC is the best thing since
sliced bread, in which case you now have the
opportunity to waste your money and help me recover
some of my loss. The Easy-PC program sucks. ! I want
rid of it."

I didn't take that message as an ad but as a warning. Someone seriously trying to sell something usually doesn't start out with calling the product "trash".

CAD programs are expensive in both money and in time to learn and really evaluate them. An early heads up can save a lot of both.

Commercials of the type "My product is wonderful - buy it from me now" probably should be banned. As I said earlier, I didn't take that particular email as a commercial.

Thank goodness someone figured out what I really intended... yes it is a
warning. I am not the only person that feels like this about Easy-PC. I
really don't care if I sell it or not !
I truly tried giving these people every opportunity to fix the well
documented bugs and even spent another $75 on the Version 5 upgrade,
only to find to a large extend the bugs are still there.

According to another eGroup a Company called West Dev purchased
NumberOne (Easy-PC) and are now selling a different program, it is
called Pulsonix...... the Schematic drawing portion of the program is
free, but the PCB layout portion costs several 1000 dollars... !
If you know Easy-PC and download the Pulsonix you will notice they are
very similar.

The point I'm trying to make is exactly as Harry saw it... its a
warning.

OK, I know I should not have purchased it. But 20/20 hind sight works
well for most people.

I gave them 15 months to fix the problems and have documented each and
every email, and phone call to these people, they simply do not make the
effort to fix bugs. They chose not to do so, and that's why they
ended up on my other web site

COS (Change Of Subject)
As it happens this crusade of mine has a positive side, I found
HomeBrew_PCB ....
I have been making my own PCB's for the last 35 years, from the early
days of painting copper clad boards by hand, to today when I make 8 mil
traces as an everyday affair. Examples of my home made PCB's are
scattered all over my web site. I silver plate my
boards, I expect you all know how to do that.

So I look forward to asking a few questions, mostly about how to do
through hole plating at home, other than conductive ink and electro
copper plating in sulfuric acid baths, does anyone have a good simpler
solution..

If I offended anyone, I'm sorry, and I apologize.

Best Regards
Hans W
