Well, that's just an opinion, and as such just as valid as mine, which is
the board quality you get with tt is more than sufficient for 0.5mm pitch
ICs, and workflow is more streamlined, besides beeing a lot cheaper.
Photoprocess is surely somethig for the absolute novice, look what radio
shack and others sell as beginner PCB sets ;-). I was using photoboards 5
years ago, and i have no desire to go back.
