Homebrew PCBs

HI Alan,

Good to meet you!  I'm getting there.  With some kind help from another list
member, I've been able to alter one part by making a "related" part of my
own.  

I'll check out the messages on or around 12675.  Consolidation would be
great!  I did initially check out Eagle's News Group, but I'm not familiar
with news group operation.  Then I remembered that Homebrew PCB's was
around.  I was interested in it in 2001, and had joined then.  Too many
lists!  

I want to MILL traces with a CNC'd Sherline mill.  May even get around to
finishing up a PCB router I have been collecting parts for.

I hadn't laid out a board MYSELF before, although I've seen plenty of them
developed.  The auto-router is really NEAT!
