I've been looking at the open source package http://www.freepcb.com/ but
it seems too advanced for my needs. It would take me longer to enter a
netlist and learn how to use this app than simply drawing a layout in a
paint program. Maybe PCB Wizard is more user friendly. Just drag/drop
from a component pallet then drag tracks around to connect stuff. That
would be plenty for me.


It's one reason I still use RISC OS. The Draw prog on that with a small
library of basic pad layouts is all that's needed for simple stuff. Same
for drawing circuit diagrams. But then I quite enjoy figuring out layouts
and best track routes. IMHO it takes too long to learn a CAD one to be
worth it unless you're using it frequently.
