I was also curious how that would go. OK, I made a circuit, the PCB
is all milled and drilled, I populated the PCB and it all works but
not to well. Turns out I need to add anotehr IC because... whatever.
I take that PCB under the dremel of my fancy PCB mill and position it
wher I placed a dot. OK< ready, glasses on, let the V bit do it's
expanding job!

Wow, that is a certainly a way to live the life! An alternative
would be to quickly TT another PCB, drill it with that PCB drill,
just because I can, stuff it and put it on a standoff on the first
PCB. The second method seems to be simpler FOR ME. Mike
