Bah... You know its true George... but like most of us we can't take a compliment well... George was one of the first guys I was inspired by to make my own website with a collection of PCB design related stuff on it... He still runs a great website and gives freely of his advice and wisdom to the designers that are members of this organization... http://www.pcb-designer.com The DC list server would be a much less lively place without your comments and insight, bro... Keep up the good work and keep sharing your experiences... :) It really does matter. Best regards, Bill Brooks - KG6VVP PCB Design Engineer , C.I.D.+, C.I.I.

Hail to the PCB designer... may our 'ilk' not become too rare... for the world would loose out on some really great stuff and great people too... You all are awesome... you can find none finer in the world. Salud! (Cheers!) Bill Brooks - KG6VVP PCB Design Engineer , C.I.D.+, C.I.I.
