    Mathcad Alternative

    dozer, It is early days for me with MuPad but I hope to give it a tough work out in the coming weeks, I did try over Christmas but you know how it is. :-) IRstuff, Forgive me if I sound jaded it is just that SafeCast did break my CD Burner. I did upgrade to 13 but then found that I needed to...

    Mathcad Alternative

    http://www.privacyandspying.com/privacy-c_dilla.html http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/pest/pest.aspx?id=453076970 This sort of 'copy protection' is not acceptable in professional software in my opinion.

    Mathcad Alternative

    MuPad is £285 ($500), I am evaluating it at the moment as a replacement for the extortionate and spyware ridden Mathcad.

    Calendaring Software

    I have found T&C invaluable for organising the 'chaos' of my office. We are all engineers here so we ALL know what that is like. :-)

    Calendaring Software

    swertel, Time and Chaos will integrate with your default email client. For instance, if you click an email address in the contacts section it will automatically open up your email program with the contact address in the send to box. :)

    Calendaring Software

    There is the Sunbird project from Mozilla where there is a plug in for Firefox and Thunderbird or as a stand alone application. I use Time and Chaos with Eudora for my PIM. www.chaossoftware.com

    New Structural Analysis software

    Agreed, I have the full version of Robot Millenium and it is a very powerful structural anaylsis and design package. This is free so you can't argue with the price. :)

    3d Cad Programs with (Stable) database capabilities

    I think that you will struggle to find a sub $500 program with the capabilities of TC. I would recommend Vectorworks but that is more expensive at around $1400, but still cheaper (and better) than Autocad. I used to use TC but it just doesn't come up to the mark in a professional environment...

    BASEBALL BATS

    Not knowing the complexities of baseball (I do know cricket though), on a side issue, in the UK you will see baseball bats on sale but never any baseballs! :-)

    Good drafting program for structural engineering firm?

    I use Vectorworks, as capable as Autocad but way, way cheaper and easier to use (or should I say that Autocad is way, way overpriced!). I used to use TurboCAD but gave that up for VW. Most structural offices will use Autocad.

    MAC vs PC Windows

    For a very good, in depth, non-biased viewpoint this site has done a comparison between the two OS's. http://www.xvsxp.com/

    MAC vs PC Windows

    ctopher, With respect, you are talking rubbish. Macs are not for computer illiterate they are for people who do not want to put up with the crap that Microsoft laughably calls an operating system. I have a Mac at home and use a Windows PC at work, the reason is that, in the UK at least, there...

    Retaining wall surcharge

    May I suggest that you shoulld not try to design the retaining wall for the surcharge of a four storey building, it quite simple won't work. I would advise, on a 3.5m high wall, that the foundations to the building are taken to a bearing at the same level or below the retaining wall base and the...
