Question about PCB software (and making the boards at home)



Hi all,

I stumbled over an ad on www.circuitcellar.com about free PCB software
(http://www.pcb123.com/).
I would like to have some feedback about this software from anyone using it,
possibly comparing it to other PCB software out there.

My needs are simple, I am planning to build small projects for personal use.
On that note, how many of you are making your own boards at home? I used to
make boards 20-30 years ago, but at the time I used parts such as
transistors and TTL ICs. Now with surface mount ICs it is scary trying to
make boards...

My own thought is that it is better to have the boards made by a
professional outfit.

Thanks.

Gunnar.
