[sdiy] if You Make PCB's @ home

[alessandro fasan]

Thanks !
Actually if anybody is interested in getting a laser printer I just got mine 
on eBay, for exactly this purpose.
It 's  a HP 4M (3000 pages in life), came with toner and paid only $10 (this 
was a local  listing so no shipping charges). It works great.
I recommend the HP 4 and eBay :)
