Hi luke, Today I got an email from allaboutcircuits and it was not an article (what I subscribed for), but an advertisement for a "deal" that Advanced Circuits (www.4pcb.com) was running. I don't have a thing to make, but thought of you and wondered if such companies really do give good deals and are nice to work with. They advertise "free" software that's not GPL so I'm unimpressed but other prospective customers would be. The "deal" was 50% off fist and second orders up to $250 and for businesses, up to $500 off PCB orders with a promo-code (Of course, nothing is "free" and they'll have to make it back somehow).
You see, at some point in time (I'm guessing 2+ years at least), I'm going to have to not roll my own and instead use a real PCB fab so I'm keeping my eyes open.
Thanks, David
