Kind of timely, I just recieved the Nov. 11, 2002 (or 11-11-02 for those on
the date usage thread) edition of Electronic Design magazine.  It has the
LPKF circuitboard milling machine on the front cover.  The website hast the
article in pdf if anyone is interested.

At $60K US (w/ 2 day operating instruction!  yipee); it might be a while
before one finds its way into my basement.  I'm hoping Roman comes up with
some kind of "Flakey scheme" that works. :')  I've got a few home projects
that will never get sent off to a board house unless they start giving away
boards.  Paying projects are never the issue.

BTW  I did play with the thermal printer over the weekend and got the
transport to work (mostly), but the thermal bonding issues with the copper
surface were a problem...  I'll see if I can't warm the surface up a bit
before printing.  Also the ribbon breaks pretty easily with the
discontinuity of the cardboard carrier and the clad stock.  It might not
work out at all.  Here's hoping the ink jet route pans out.
