Re: [ee] PCB local fag

I should add these are basically all prototype/hobbyist boards.  Some I'd like to get a dozen or more of, but whatever minimum from the companies willing to do low volume is fine.  For instance, just for learning, I'd like to build a small switching power supply board that can accommodate many topologies depending on which parts/jumpers are put where.
