2006-09-08 Thread Ales Hvezda
Hi, I am pleased to announce gEDA/gaf 20060906. This is probably the fast release I've ever made. This is primarily a bug fix release. Hopefully all of the autosave bugs have been squashed along with a few other annoying bugs fixed. This release also includes Peter Brett's new print dialog whi

I've got 2 bun toasters, (made for 8 hamburger bun halves at a time), I salvaged with that in mind, but am not wont to endure the huge heat and power sucking they would cause... Another salvaged heater that might help this kind of approach is a metal film heater elements behind pyrex glass thi

I'd guess motion and time with heat smushed it. My results were closer to the point of not enough heat, and required running bare board through my laminating heater several times to get good one last pass with toner transfer. I did not run the toner attached paper through again, just once, aft
