Re: Those PCBs

Jeff is too busy with his life to work the PCB thing. I was going to
pay for a small run and Jeff was going to set it up with a manufacturer.
I was going to go with one maker, but he didn't think their product would
be very good. I know nothing about differences in PCB making.
I also assumed I needed Jeff to do the legwork since he holds the
copyright on the design. I'm just planning on trying to make my
own PCB now, it'll be a challenge. Now that I finished my BS I can
dig into this. If you decide you want to try to get a small run of boards
made, I'll buy at least two.

Jeff if you see this I hope you don't take this as a criticism of you in
any way. You've already done more than enough to help us with this.
