Ah, ok. I intend to use this board (the 18F2550 for now) for a couple of projects and I think the shields will be large because I'm not using SMD components. > > Counting this, and my limited experience, you must admit, I did a good > > job :-P > > Yes, but only if it is working as it should I hope. > A small tip, try only to draw traces horizontal, vertical or in 45 > degree. > A pcb must also be a kind of an art. Thanks for the tip. I know, I like them too, having a symmetrical aspect but this involve increasing the size of the board :-( . If the traces are thin then can be made a little nice than it is now but not with toner transfer method. > You did not build this pcb yet did you?

First I will build the 18F2550 version (almost ready). But I'm not afraid about not fiting the components under the microcontroller because J.P.Mandon succeeded with his Pinguino 18F4550 Tiny Board. See here: http://jpmandon.blogspot.com/2009/08/18f4550-tiny-board.html The crystal is only 3mm tall.
