Sometimes you simply can not wait for "24 hour" or "1 day" turns in the real world. Myself I thought Dave's work was very well timed. Management saw this: http://www.epiloglaser.com/ at CES and is thinking of spending money (a rare event) on one of them. There actually is a lot of industrial related stuff at the consumer show. What I wonder is if this Epilog machine can really do PCBs. I have my doubts about etching the copper directly, but I hope it can harden some pre-sensitize some board material, that can then be conventionally etched. I'll let you know if it happens... _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
