lol... i was thinking that. If it looks like it's not going to make it, i just might.
I wouldn't want to spoil it if they said: "we would have given the s/w out, but we noticed 20,000 registrations from the same address. so no!"

TurboCAD is comparable to AutoCAD LT, though AutoCAD LT is better overall.

Cheap CAD programs are really useless for those who use them. A free one however doesn't have to be good or usefull ;). Being in the business, I've seen the difference of a cheap program and the $300 AutoCAD program. When all of your drawings are off by 1/2" even though the scale says they're not, you'll lose your status and or job pretty fast.

87337 for me - I'm in (with a spam alias, of course).

edit: I bet you only 50% of the people have clicked the activation link in their email which is required or else you're not counted in the 100k people.

$7.99 is nearly free, and you don't take the risk of being bombarded by spam after giving your personal info and email address to some unknown-CAD-program-give-away-scheme. TurboCAD is a very refined product, albiet a more limited feature set.

You can do worse than TurboCAD for three times as much, even worse than 'free'.

I have used Alibre Design befoe and it is a very good deal for its price... Lets hope x-cad(claimed to be launched by alibre) is not a scam to obtain email addresses
