Attention Printed Circuit Board Fabricators:

There is a new web site and newsgroup that has been created
specifically to address the technical needs of the PCB fabrications
industry.  The purpose of this web site is to become an important
technical resource for the entire PCB fabrication process, with
articles on all phases of the process.  With this in mind, the
articles on this web site are generic in nature, and not little
more than the thinly disguised advertisements, that many articles
in the "technical" journals are.

There is also be an alternate newsgroup, with a format very similar to the
TechNet, but with one important difference, it is anonymous, unless you put
your identity and/or e-mail address into the body of the message.  In other
words, the senders e-mail address is stripped from the message automatically,
so that the receivers do not know who sent it.  This is to allow people with
problems to present them, without broadcasting to the PCB industry that they
are having process problems.

The web site is at http://www.pcBfab.com

The "B" in the above address is capitalized for emphasis, and does
not have to be capitalized in the actual address.  There is another
web site at pcfab.com also, that belongs to the magazine.

The newsgroup is called PCBFABNET, and you may subscribe to it
through the above web site, or by sending the following e-mail
message:address:

After you have subscribed, you address mail to the PCBFABNET by

We invite everyone in the PCB FABRICATIONS industry to participate, and to
contribute articles to the web site that would be of interest to our
industry.
