Homebrew PCBs

Boy, I sure lament the fact that I literally gave away my HP LJ IIIP
and bought the Brother 2040, thinking it would be better with the much
higher resolution.  Of course, what I paid for it was not much more
than the price of the toner cartridge the IIIP needed, but now that I
know what the Brother doesn't do well (toner transfer), I'd gladly pay
the price!

By the way, the resolution enhancement technology on the IIIP anyway
was just for the fonts. Graphics were generally pretty blocky-looking.
