http://www.douglas.com, been in business a long time, located ( actually
located facilities and all ) in San Leandro, California.  Sadly, not cheap.
3 times the cost of import boards in the quantities we want.

There is another outfit in Redwood City, CA that does PCBoards but I havent
squeezed a quote out of them.  Local people might remember newspaper
articles about someone falling into a vat of etchant a year or so back,
thats the place...  I guess thats once difference, that happens in the US it
makes newspapers and gets investigated, that happens in China, you have some
extra organic compounds in your solder mask or something...
