My last board was a quickie - two pushbutton pads, two headers (an 8 & a 10 pin) and 6 LED's. Double sided - took me maybe two hours. I let the autorouter handle most of it. It was a modification for a customer - they needed a display that can be seen in sunlight. AlGaAs displays under their filter aren't quite bright enough either. Oh well - maybe next time. JoAnn L.
