Yep, not to mention how easy it was to learn the software.
I figure for the number of IIc's that are out there, and
the number of people actually going to buy the thing, maybe
30-50 boards will be all I'm going to need to make. If it
goes any higher, which I have seen no evidence of, I will
then need to use another supplier.
