Gang!

I see a lot of talk here about multisim. I google and found the site, but egads, did everyone really pay $495 for the student edition?

I am way past student age and the next step up is over a grand an a half.

Is there something here I am missing? Is there another multisim out there that not selling for $500 bucks?

I laugh when I see a Multisim post.
The schematic is a negative and is covered with measles dots.
Most circuits do not work.
It costs a fortune.

But the excellent SIM program LTspiceIV from Linear Technology is free.

agreed. SPICE is better.

i remember being taught electronics workbench and multisim. i found spice, and never looked back. Though now I use PROTEUS which is analog and digital simulator.

I have never simulated a logic circuit. The datasheets tell you exactly what will happen.

Last time I simulated a digital circuit in Multisim, the computer went off and wouldn't switch back on. I guess it also hates multisim!
