[cad-linux] Re: Welcome to CAD-LINUX

cool bike!  we have a couple cyclists here at work.  i'll fwd it to them.

the cad link seems broken.  
there seems to be a growing demand for 'Cheap and free CAD'.  small businesses
and home use.  there is a bunch up in Atlanta that has a similar name, but they
used a different adjective.  :-)
