content: Last year I was an advisor to a group of senior EE students at a State University. For their senior hardware project a board was required. Late one evening, in an effort to meet a critical deadline the student doing the layout sent me a screen capture of the completed layout. I think he had only a few hours using Eagle under his belt and probably sucked down a few beers while pulling an all nighter.When I saw this I laughedand then helped him straightened it out for submission to the board house.

content: I suspect that this result could be achieved with many ECAD packages and many brands of beer. I wouldn't pick on Eagle for this.

content: I have nothing but respect for the students. They worked very hard on this project and I supported them unconditionally. The result of my drive was getting them first prize in a competition and an A in the class.They know full well that the first pass on the layout was crap and they laugh about it too.Thats how they learn.....the road to.success is paved with failures.....unless of course its a solar roadway@grouchobyte

content: Co-worker found "Penis! One more! Lots of them" in the artwork of a board with several identical circuits in parallel. Very, very, very close to LM317Ts. Its left to the reader as a exercise what kind of circuit that was.
