It's amazing what we take for granted these days: --- Quote ---“Quest” for printed circuit boards 😉 In 1976, CERN activities required a growing amount of printed circuit boards, so the Laboratory acquired Quest systems to automate their design and production. As you can see in this #ThrowbackThursday, each system was equipped with a digitising table, a teletype, a computer, a pen plotter, a perforator and a photoplotter, so that the user could guide the machine to drill holes in the boards. Guess how much faster it was to make printed circuit boards using these machines? --- End quote --- Source: https://www.facebook.com/CERNLibrary/photos/pcb.10159281668986970/10159281668751970/ |

"Guess how much faster it was to make printed circuit boards using these machines?" Well, what to do if you need "Ctrl+Z"? |

I would use that stuff lol |

Based on my experience this year trying to learn Cadence PCB design and schematic tools by myself at home in lockdown so I could make some 8 layer boards for CERN, I think I'd rather have used this! :D |

Allegro is the best! |
