Argh!

So, I have this geometric figure I want to draw on my computer. It consists entirely of circles in proportionate sizes. This exercise would be downright trivial in Geometer's Sketchpad...if I had it. Since I don't, I'm looking for recommendations of programs that are free-ish that are a) precise enough to let me draw concentric and relational circles with proportional (a, 2a, 3a) radii but are b) simple enough that I can use without tutorial from another human being or trolling the internet for forums and help files.

It's a pretty awesome program. I was able to build the Euler line in a matter of minutes while I was being "trained" in it last year, then set the points to move about the plane, displaying its permanence. Finished making the icon I wanted. FYI, it consists entirely of arcs from concentric and/or tangent circles.
