*** Just got back from the kitchen sink.  The board is GORGEOUS.  I
flushed it with cold water, then gave it a 15 minute soak in  warm 
soapy water.  The paper mostly peeled off in one piece, except for a 
thin layer, that I carefully rubbed off with my fingers.  The traces 
came out flawless, the edges perfect.  The only damage to the toner was 
a bit of one of my initials rubbed off - but that's a seriousoy thin
"trace" :).

   This is a simple analog/power regulator board with fat traces, wide 
spacing and lots of ground plane.  The only thing at all challenging 
was a single 16-pin DIP.  And I didn't even have to shoot traces 
between any of the pins.  Keeping it Simple to start....
