I am looking to buy a CAD program for my home computer. Has anyone had luck with a particular program one they found to be very user friendly. Also have anyone used a program that was not user friendly. Also it has to run on a Dell with a pentium 4 processor 2.8ghz and 512 MB of ram, and a 128MB graphics card.

The most common way to make your own parging mix is to use either Type S mortar for block or Type N for brick and add a concrete bonding additive.

If you wanted user friendly you should have gotten a Macintosh.
1 - do a search here for SoftPlan and/or Chief Architect
2 - how much do you want to spend?
3 - what do you want to do with it? Only 2d plans and details, or 3d renderings?

Boy, this question keeps popping up. I think it was one of the first I posted here. Check out the current, or last month's Fine Woodworking. There was a good article on low-cost (Under $100) CAD programs.

too wide a question right now tjhe way you have it phrased. Kind of like, "help me buy a car to put in my garage. The garage door is 9' wide and 7' high.
Your budget and intended use is a good clue to beginning to answer. as has been said, you could try the search function here for CAD or Design programs, or individually for ACAD Lite, Vectorworks, Chief Achitect, Punch, Softplan, TurbocAD, etc...
