  Heard that.  Part of the reason I've dropped in and out of the 
discussions lately has been working on more important things.  
Especially now with PCBEx cutting the quantity in half from CustomPCB, a 
single even low volume producing product can pay for made boards.  
$125+ship for five 8x10 boards is simply very reasonable.  I still have 
my stack of 4 laserjets and will test out direct print to board fully 
when other things are going a bit more smoothly, but until then I doubt 
I'll make many more boards by hand, TT or UV.  Simply too cheap to have 
them made, I doubt you can come out much ahead even if you just count 
minimum wage for your time..  Still ok if you just have to have an 
instant board, but that usually isn't so important vs a week or so.
