Re:Free PCB software

I prefer easy-pc myself. but the price puts me off getting the full 
version.

If there are any programmers out there, why not write something that 
actually IS good - easy selection of components, direct transfer to 
PCB, good autorouting, etc.

If we loose any more hostages who will do my washing?
