Hey everybody!-

    What exactly is the advantage to "hompelate-shaped pads"?  I have
read several Technet postings regarding these, and the implications were
that they helped in the assembly process.  Is that the advantage?  Where
would the trace enter the pad?  Are there other shapes which have
advantages over traditional rectangular?  I appreciate the help.
