large laptop around every now and again than always having to be vigilant
about taking every last file I worked on at home back to the office or out of
town. |

17" is ok but does get old when you have to do 10-12 hour CAD marathons.
At least once you've passed the black balloon festival and the eyes
aren't as good anymore as they used to be.
Since I run the biz from here the files are in a central repository and
always backed up. So which PC I use doesn't really matter. When I go to
clients I spool their files onto a color-coded USB stick and hop in the
car or on a plane.

I'm looking for SPICE software recommendations, both freeware and for
purchase. Whose programs do you use, and why?
Thanks,
Francis.
Well...you could have a go at my SuperSpice. Its a tad cheaper than Simetix.
I use it because, as I wrote it, it costs me nothing, and er..
additionally...has all the features I need that ain't in LTSpice.

SuperSpice also seems to have been one of the first (and still one of the few)
SPICE front ends where you could drop graphs onto the schematic itself rather
than always having them in a separate window. |

It is free, and is probably the fastest, most likely to converge, and all
around
best spice package available.
It seems to be one of the few free SPICE packages out there that's "actively"
maintained and improved upon these days... Linear Tech made one smart choice
in having Mike Engelhardt write them LTspice from scratch -- his skills
definitely seem to be on the level of the folks who once worked on PSpice, and
if it were a team of people rather than just Mike himself, I have no doubt
that LTspice would rapidly start having the much fancier graphing and
scripting abilities that, e.g., PSpice does.
For commercial packages John Warner's SI-Metrix is pretty nice. Last I heard
he was maintaining SI-Metrix with just a couple of other people, and was
looking to hire more if he could find appropriately talented individuals.

Altium has just started supplying it with their PCB software. Pulsonix
has been supplying it for years.

And Kevin is smart enough to not buy it from himself for $20 on ebay :-)

I don't know.. you might be surprised how daft I can be sometime.
I once was cutting a bread roll, knife towards roll, towards fingers.
dah...slipped.. tip of finger got a neat cut...tried again..dah.. slipped
again.. tip of the next finger sliced as well...was a bit of a bastard to
play my guitar for while.
