Default Inexpensive CAD Program

I've noticed a number of discussions about CAD programs in the past. I
recently "found" a very inexpensive basic CAD program ($25) that does a
great basic job of allowing the user to create nice, effective working
drawings (I was a draftsman when they still used pencils and real ink). I
don't recall it being mentioned before (or I simply don't remember).
There's a free trial version that you can download and try out before you
decide to get the fully implemented version. I've been using it for a few
months now, and I like it. Here's the link in case anybody's interested.

I'll add to that my favorite CAD application...

DeltaCad - http://www.deltacad.com/

VERY easy to learn and to use. It's $40.

You can do quite a bit with the lite version... One guy drew out a city
map with it. The free version is worth the money, and the license
agreement is the best I've seen short of free softwa You can install
as many copies as you want on as many computers as you wish provided you
don't use more copies at a time than you have licenses for.

Old computers are getting to be a lost art. Here at Uncreative Labs, we
still enjoy using the old computers. Sometimes we want to see how far a
particular system can go, other times we use a stock system to remind
ourselves of what we once had.

I tried most of them available about 10 years ago. I have been with
TurboCAD ever since. Best bang for te buck. I take it over the
industry standard autocad any day.
