Homebrew PCBs

It came with an MSDS, I read through it, but considered it to be 
about as safe as all the other crap in the shop - NOT!  Luckily it 
has a pretty nasty smell so doing it outside is your best bet, 
unless you like bad smells and getting sick ;-)

Now if the rest of my components show up sometime soon, I should be 
able to test all these boards out this week to see if any of them 
work.  I really rushed through the design and layout phase and 
didn't have my head in it at all so if they do actually work, I will 
be pleasantly surprised :-)
