I am ,how you say computer blond at best  and making cyberspace work to my advantage is really a stretch. I have looked at some schematic drawing plans. For what I want to do they are a little to much . All I want to do is to be able to draw up some ideas and transfer them to a web site I am working on. I tried ms paint and  used smallbears idea on creating  the parts was fairly simple and actually that does what I want but had a difficut time saving them to a page. I want to be able to have a page of symbols ,copy and paste and connect them. Does anyone have any suggestions on freesoftware. I personally like the looks of  those schematics that have the real life ics [in color] similiar to what edn acces uses.Any thoughts on something simple[using windows 98 se]

ASCII circuit is good for quick and greaseys.

I've found expresspcb to be good for just schematics.

Micro-cap have a "student" or evaluation version.  Is a complex program, but you don't have to dig far if you're just doing schematics.

I've used Word drawings in the past.  You can save the symbols in a sort of library, and when the "snap to grid" feature is working, it's ok to use!

I had the idea of using a vector graphics program (like flash or freehand etc.) but I haven't tried it.  Vector graphics would allow for scaling without distorting the image.  Flash has librarys and you can treat each instance of a symbol as a separate object on the stage....  ok, sorry, no more flash lingo.  :?
