        Hey Gary!

        To take the definition revolving around printed components
        one step further:

        IMO if you are working with transmission lines, differential
        impedance, co-planar waveguide, picket fencing, low-noise or
        high-power considerations, embedded capacitance, buried
        resistance, or etched inductors then you are working with a
        printed circuit.  Otherwise you are working with printed
        wiring, of which there is still plenty in the world.

        Cheers,
