Hi you all,

just a little comment on the hole drilling thing. I don't know how the rest
of you drill these holes (I think we all do it the same way!) but I never
find it so time-robbing to drill holes.

I just use a standard, what's that word in English.... a thing you can put
your drill in vertically.

PCB should be on the 'table'.

I know my explanation is real ugly and so on but I can do a hundred holes in
say... five to ten minutes.

Just use soft materials, this helps a lot!!!
