Homebrew PCBs

Hi Steve,
         Using a heatgun-plastic bag and vacuum instead of
an iron seems to be crazy. I was hoping you would say inkjet! I
do know about the plastic sheets that go through a copier. Over
the years I have been given several copiers. Everyone had a 
scratched or bad drum. Since I bought a good scanner and digital
camera I gave up the idea.
         Steve I sent some boards out to a PC house. I had to Redraw
my artwork using Eagle. What an experience. I got lots of help
from Hans.

                                            John
