Homebrew PCBs

Hi Robert, I found that the "New and Improved" stuff is horrid by 
comparison to the original.  I went through two packages before 
getting a good transfer.  I emailed back and forth with the fellow 
at Pulsar and also asked for replacement material.  At that point, 
the person stopped communicating with me.  As far as I am concerned, 
I won't buy anything else with their name on it.  

I am not a happy camper with regard to their products
