Can anyone recommend a simple schematic drawing CAD program, not one
of the "do everything" programs that draws living rooms and
skyscrapers, looking for a schematic-only program that does not have
too steep a learning curve, and doesn't cost too much or is freeware
or shareware that won't cost an arm or a leg.

What programs do you use and what are your likes/dislikes/wish list?

I'm trying to settle on something that I will probably only use
occasionally to draw schematics of homebrew projects to file away or
possibly submit for publication. Any suggestions appreciated.

I'm running Windows XP Pro.

I use 'xcircuit' (URL (may have changed): http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~tim/programs/xcircuit/)

It needs X11 but you can install 'cygwin' on XP Pro and X11 and it
should run fine.

To see an example drawing please see my linear page:
