Lpc2000

I have been using Eagle (www.cadsoft.de <http://www.cadsoft.de/> ) for
years and it is does everything I need it to.  Plus the price is
extremely reasonable. (There is a limited capability free version
available.)  I recently added the autorouter, but I usually manually
route.

Hi Rob,

I would stay away from Orcad. How about Pads?
