The second question....

This is kind of related to the first, I'd be interested to know if
everyone designs their PCB's from the schematic stage upwards on
computers, or whether there are many people creating the PCB layout
only?

Tom

I've come across a number of commercial designers that still route
manually. They'll go the circuit diagram route only if the board
complexity demands it (say 20 or more packages). They say the main
reason is time saving from not having to fart about creating unique
library components and the ensuing struggle with third rate diagram
editors.
