That's unjustifiably unacceptable. But I found a >good fab house so it shouldn't be that bad. I have another board house for you to try if you want:=20 . This was mentioned=20 previously on the PIClist sometime last year. The guy who runs it is named Laen and he is really easy to work=20 with. I've ordered from him previously with good results. You get 3=20 copies of your board for $5 per square inch (two layer). His price=20 for 4 layer is reasonable: you get 3 copies of your board for $10 per=20 square inch. Note that price is per square inch of your design. The actual cost=20 per board is that cost divided by 3. He is also offering a 'beta' service for those who want larger=20 quantities: 10 board minimum, 150 square inch minimum for $1 per=20 square inch. That could be 10 boards at 15 Sq In each, or 30 boards=20 at 5 Sq In each, or whatever works best for you. That cost is=20 inclusive of setup fees and ship cost to you. My previous orders took about 3 weeks from date of order to receiving=20 them but check with him for your specific delivery time.
