Hi Mike,

     Its a small company (3 people total) so we have to fill different role=
s
at different times.  My boss does the electronic design and layout so it is
hard (or rather, not my place) to distribute shame for this kind of thing:)
Its not life or death since we're just prototyping.  The personal
issue (that you may be able to see) is that I'd rather not tell my boss to
lay the board out again if at all possible, especially since the part is
available just with a long lead time.  But, on the other hand, we do need t=
o
get these prototypes going.

James
