To let you guys know (who are tracking this), the Sharpie works great as long
as I make sure the lines are as dark as possible. Obviously I'm still
experimenting with the process since I'm new at this (thank god I have a lot of
boards). I don't think I will be able to do SMT with the sharpie though, unless
I get a super thin one. I guess using laser toner transfer would be the way to
go then? (thinking a few months down the road here).

I just bought a brand new dremel and drill press stand, so that and the etchant
will keep me busy for the next while :-)
