Hello guys

please take a look at the attached, I was just going to check out to see 
if there was a newer version of KiCad to download and put Kicad into 
google. Look at the attached, the first result is an ad from Farnell 
that has uk.farnell.com/kicad on it. clicking on it takes you to a page 
on farnell selling eagle. If you actually put uk.farnell.com/kicad into 
your browser it just takes you to a search error page on farnell 
suggesting you were looking for "nicad" and alternative results for 
batteries and charges. Is this not a very sleazy way of farnell trying 
to get people to buy eagle when they actually wanted to download kicad 
for free ?

I will be contacting farnell later to tell them of my disgust and will 
be making it known on the eevblog forum (that I am a moderator of).

Regards
Simon
