(OP)
Anyone have comments on the relative merits of Orcad and Protel for schematic capture, digital simulation & PCB layout? Especially ease of use!
Thanks

I have used Orcad and Protel since the DOS days (when Protel was called Tango), I find I perfer Protel, especially with some of the newer releases where Protel schematic has improved.

I've used....
OrCad
PADS
Allegro
Protel
Currently using Expedition (not alot of fun being a beta site)
RE: PCB design - Orcad or Protel
EAGLE also has a "free" version, that is far far more functional than ExpressPCB. See it at:

Eagle is mostly what I use today, though it is at times frustratingly arcane.
HRC: how do you like Eagle compared to OrCad and Protel and the others?

At that point I went to Eagle for my consulting and personal projects, and I feel its a very decent package for the price, fairly good support and has some features I like better than the 50K version of Expedition that I use at my day job.
At least you can download the light version and get the look and feel of it.
