Hi Martin, I use CaseStudio (http://www.casestudio.com), quite cheaper
than Powerdesigner and the like. It's not an UML tool, but for ERD it's
quite good IMHO. I may be wrong (still have Fowlers book at my desk,
never finished reading it), but UML scratches a different itch than
ERD.

As for UML I've seen an opensource one called ArgoUML
(http://argouml.tigris.org/). Can't really rate it since I still just
don't get under my skin UML (funny thing that's just the same feeling
I have with Perl).
