There is a local store here in San Jose, called San Jose Computer, which
is selling the Abacus/Data Becker PC Board Designer software package for
$50.00 new. The package lists for $249.95 or something like that.

Seems like they bought about 200 packages and need to blow them out.

If you are a hardware hacker/hobbyist and designing boards of nontrivial
complexity, this package is a hell of a deal for this price.

I bought one and have been playing with it for a couple of days. Very nice;
includes an auto-router. It prints out 2 to 1 enlarged component/trace layouts
on an Epson FX (MX), 24 pin printers, and HPGL plotters ; will do boards of up
to about 6.5" by 4.5". Component library capability will handle components of
up to 120 connection points. Single and double sided boards are supported.

I like it.



The phone number for San Jose Computer is (408) 224-8575. I have no association
with the store except for customer.
