Hi Renier,

I tried going to your site, and evidently there was no route to your
host at this particicular time. I wondered what the limititations of
SuperNEC lite are, and if ordinary experimenters not academically linked
can use the software? Like me.

(soapbox :)
One of the reasons PSpice was such a successful product was that they
provided a demo version with enough capability to handle the circuits
that hams and experimenters work with. Then those young people went
into the corporate world knowing PSpice and/or recommending it for
purchase.

Yamaha does (or at least did) give practically free piano lessons, with
the hope that someday these kids will grow up and buy a Yamaha piano.
They don't take 1/4 of the keys off and tell you to play :)

Its this long sighted business strategy that really impresses me. Most
electronics demo programs really suck. For example: Ansoft Serenade
demo, APLAC demo, WIPL-D $300 demo from Arthouse. (they never tell you
that its serious crippleware).

I sincerely hope that your demo falls into the PSpice category of useful
products for experimenters.

(end of soapbox).
