Advanced Circuits (www.4pcb.com) still has their "$33 each" offer in
effect.  So your cost from them would have been $132 + UPS.   I've
used them numerous times and always received excellent, professional-
quality boards with all the features you describe.  Size can be anything
up to 10" x 15", though no gold fingers or slots.
