Former Pspice user, meet LTspice

I'm an electrical engineering student at Columbia University, and we're supposed to use Pspice for our intro Circuits labs. I tried to give it a chance, but just couldn't take the constant crashes and bugs. It seems that not everyone has had as much trouble as I have, so maybe it just doesn't like me, but in any case, I found LTspice and it's been smooth sailing since.

I've had to do some reading and research on my own to figure out how to do the labs using LTSpice, so I figured I'd share what I found to make it easier for others who want to follow. Maybe if we get enough people using LTspice they'll start using it in the labs.

Download LTspice from here (click on LTSPICE/SWITCHERCADIII) and install in the normal windows way. If you're a Linux user, LTspice works fine under WINE.

Let me know if you have problems and I'll try to help, but I'm just learning this software too, so you might also want to sign up at this yahoo message group to ask more questions.
