Re: Tirade

Seems this discussion about cad and no-cad grow more interesting. Well, for me that's technology. With the cad, now there're vacancies for cad operator. So I think the old guys need not to be afraid for this. Cad is only a tool, just like a board. So all is still depend on the designer.

Maybe in the time when drawing board and pencil invented, there're the same argument like we have now.
