I always use president@whitehouse.gov in such situations. I let my public servants deal with my spam, lol.

@Brice Manuel: since you have to receive the free version via email that wont work in this case. The president just gets some free cad software :D

Yeah I tried it, but I never received a registration code. Was kinda hoping for a simpler program, haven't used a CAD program for about 15 years or more hehehe :) But I have it installed and I'll try it some more, maybe I'll get used to it :)

Thanks for the tip hehehe

Wow, A9CAD looks really nice.
I have to give that a shot too.

Yeah I was searching the web to see which websites had any of my apps listed on them and it's surprising how fast they spread hehe. And especially surpising that one of them was listed on Windows Markedplace hehe
