Stefan, Thanks very much for copying your rc files for me. The problem was here: (define gedasymbols "/home/cullen/gaf/wcjc/symbols") which should have read: (component-library "/home/cullen/gaf/wcjc/symbols") I am still unsure why it did not either, print an error in the log, or work, as

What I like to use for demo-ing this is an aluminum pipe, and a very strong magnet. I usually drop something non-magnetic first, to show everyone that it isn't a gag. Then drop the magnet. It's fun to see people put their hand out to catch it, and then watch them wait. You can hear it as it falls a

My first thought is FTDI Vinculum or something like it. I'm sure there are competitors as Vinculum has been around for a few years. I couldn't tell you if it is best inexpensive, but it at least looks fairly inexpensive. http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Modules/DevelopmentModules.htm#Vinculo -Cul

And consider that, no matter how heavy a symbol is, you can always make it heavier. Let's say we ship a symbol for a 4.7k 0603 resistor. Does it include manufacter's part numbers? Vendor name? Tolerance? These are additional data the user could add. Where does it come
