[sdiy] very basic pcb

[John Alex Hvidlykke]

Hi Dennis

I would like to know that too.

I am at the exact same point, having taken up electronics after a 25 years
hiatus. Until now I have been using perf board for my projects.

BTW. I have a sizeable collection of basic components lefter over from back
then, but I have to scrape off decades of oxidation before use ;-)
