  Hey, if you need that, then knock yourself out.  I can generally 
remember exactly what I was doing a week or two later, and don't have 
the slightest problem with a 2 week delay on that front..  But for sure, 
after costs and time you're not coming out as much ahead of my $3 per 
board as you are thinking, and I'm getting PTH, mask, and not even 
having to make a board..
