Well, I neglected to mention the (rather painful) learning curve I had to
climb before I could make boards with consistently decent traces....  But
I've got it all working very nicely now!  (The correct printer and the
correct iron temperature are key; suffice it to say I don't let my wife iron
clothes anymore, lest she screw up the iron setting!)
