Same here. KiCad is great, but I miss EAGLE.

I assume everyone who thinks We Built This City is the worst song of all time has repressed the memory of Achy-Breaky Heart, which got at least as much radio play.

For an account of early Silicon Valley, "Accidental Empires" by Robert Cringely.

Brings back terrible memories of taking Antenna Theory in grad school.
