Well, you can use all those under Mac OS X, *and* gEDA

Well, I don't know if buying a Mac and re-buying all the apps I listed just to run gEDA is going to be much of a cost savings over updating my Protel 3.5 Client to the Latest. It is certainly a lot more expensive than just staying as-is.



On the otherhand, most anybody can find a spare 20G partition on their
hard drive these days.  Load linux into that partition, ask Grub to make
your machine a dual boot machine with *gack* 'doze as the primary/default
boot, install gEDA in the usual way, and join the crowd.
