To be honest, they were actually really amazed by the 3D rotation
feature of PCB (Peter C's pcb+gl_experimental branch) and its
capabilities.  I could probably convince them to use gEDA if it was
fully functional on Windows.  Running in a VirtualBox VM might be
too much burden, but I will still give it a try if it's the best
way.
