I've noticed a number of discussions about CAD programs in the past. I
recently "found" a very inexpensive basic CAD program ($25) that does a
great basic job of allowing the user to create nice, effective working
drawings (I was a draftsman when they still used pencils and real ink). I
don't recall it being mentioned before (or I simply don't remember).
There's a free trial version that you can download and try out before you
decide to get the fully implemented version. I've been using it for a few
months now, and I like it. Here's the link in case anybody's interested.

You can do quite a bit with the lite version... One guy drew out a city
map with it. The free version is worth the money, and the license
agreement is the best I've seen short of free software: You can install
as many copies as you want on as many computers as you wish provided you
don't use more copies at a time than you have licenses for.

Old computers are getting to be a lost art. Here at Uncreative Labs, we
still enjoy using the old computers. Sometimes we want to see how far a
particular system can go, other times we use a stock system to remind
ourselves of what we once had.

I'll add to that my favorite CAD application...
DeltaCad - http://www.deltacad.com/
VERY easy to learn and to use. It's $40.

I tried most of them available about 10 years ago. I have been with
TurboCAD ever since. Best bang for te buck. I take it over the
industry standard autocad any day.
