I've got all of the materials to use this technique,  but as yet haven't
tried it.  I'm currently working on learning to use Super PCB and Super CAD
from Mental Automation.  As soon as I get my project transferred into CAD
I'll try to knock out a board.  I really don't like to drill holes.  After
I've used this technique I'll post my results and experience to the list...
