i'd much prefer to do it all myself and get it wrong, than spend the extra
$10 and check the automation and still get it wrong, i love the kit ethos -
you get the bits you populate the board - that's a kit
or:
if it's not soldered down, then it might be wrong..?

erm, that's all i'm prepared to submit at this time
(bad day in the office dear...)
cheers all
