Hey, if you need that, then knock yourself out. I can generally
remember exactly what I was doing a week or two later, and don't have
the slightest problem with a 2 week delay on that front.. But for sure,
after costs and time you're not coming out as much ahead of my $3 per
board as you are thinking, and I'm getting PTH, mask, and not even
having to make a board..
