Homebrew PCBs

Dave,

I read literally thousands of emails each week. Obvioously a few will 
sip throught hecracks. But your t-tech didn't. I Wasn't ready with my 
machines yet, and I KNEW you'd do better on ebay...

Now, as to the website...

There WILL Be a website, but...

You sure know how to look a gift horse in the mouth<G>

I'm offering these first machines HERE ONLY, and DO NOT want 
wider "publicity" at the moment. I'm giving something (money in 
discount) to get something (experienced and demanding initial 
customers).

Why here? You guys are ALL technical, and technically capable. Also, 
GOOD quality pcb milling drilling is one of the harder tests for a 
machine of this type. Any old machine can drill some holes, mill 
some "power supply" grade traces. And any ol' machine can do a 
reasonable job of engraving, etc. BUT some of the uses I have in mind 
for these machines are more demanding than what you can do with "any 
ol' DIY cnc machine. 

ALSO, in exchange for the lower price, I'm going to "take advantage" 
of your collective expertise, and let YOU make up your own cable 
assemblies/electronics using parts provided. This will save me time 
as my cable mfr/ electronic assembler ramps up for the main 
production, and you all save money, gettting machihnes at about half 
price. It also means I can assume that detailed descriptions of 
crimping connectors and soldering are unnecessary<G>

P.S. I find it interesting that one email onlist-- which was a 
mistake, I believe-- has generated this much commentary... I never 
asked anyone to reply ONlist. (Believe me, I've had quite a few 
OFFList replies...) For which I thank you all!
