Homebrew PCBs

Check out autotrax. Pretty powerfull and - belive it or not -
completely free!

Note, I don't know the package in detail cause I discovered it after I
decided to use eagle (which I'm quite happy with) but if I would have
to start over again I definately would take a very close look at this
one.

>Hello to all...  New member here and not real knowledgeable regarding PCBs but am hoping to learn.  If you guys can stand a few "neophyte" type questions for a while, I would be most appreciative.

>I joined because I am wanting to learn how to design and build a few simple, small boards; initially just two-sided, plated hole boards.  Not sure I really want to actually make them at first, may want to just send the design off to a prototyping house to have them made in very small quantities.  
>
>Can anyone recommend a good, but fairly inexpensive, "starter" software program that I could learn to use and would produce the file types (whatever they are) that are compatible for PCB manufacture?  Later on I may need to upgrade to something more sophisticated, but for now, I'd like to keep it pretty simple and not too expensive.
