Is there a difference between a 
PWB - Printed Wiring board and 
PCB - Printed Circuit Board 
in the industry? 

Is it safe to assume (uh-oh) the PWB is the bare board and 
the PCB is the PCB w/components, i.e. a PCB assembly? 

Does anyone out there make a strict division between the two this way?
