I just noticed this over at the fatwallet.com forums.

This is not intended to be an advertisement, since I have no connection with the company or software... I don't know what the features are or whatever, but here's the plug I found (copied):


"X-CAD has promised to give away FREE Mechanical Design Software. According to their website:
"When 100,000 people register, you will receive directions via e-mail to download the free software.

Spread the word and get your free 3D CAD software faster tell all your colleagues and friends to register too!

It's the best deal on 3D CAD software for mechanical design, period. Own one of the most powerful parametric solid modelers on the market FREE when 100,000 people register by August 1, 2005.

There has been research by Ralph Grabowski, a prominent CAD journalist who claims that this is a legitimate site, and not a spam harvester: (http://worldcadaccess.typepad.com/b...cad_mystif.html)

The count is up to around 78000 as of today, so they're close to reaching the "free giveaway" limit.
