So much for freedom of speech. I downloaded the Electra router, and really wanted to give it a fair shake. I was very optimistic when I started, but it didn't take long to become very, very disappointed.
99SE is far superior.

These are some pretty harsh words but dont blast a product (ELECTRA)that failed to route only becuase you dont understand how it works. If Electra didnt work then Spectra wont work either. SPECCTRA is a world class router, whose performance has not been equaled. I dont expect you could get this router to work either. The command set is the same for both routers... so SPECCTRA sucks too ...right? > > Learn to use the damm program before you release your ignorant opinion. > > Mike Reagan > > > > > > ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- > From: Jon Elson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Protel EDA Forum" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 16:59:29 -0500 > > >I finally downloaded the Electra router and tried it on a board > >I had just routed with the P99SE default router.
