Never heard back from PCBFABEXPRESS, decided to use the boards, one in
use, 4 others have been tested and are spares for the distant future
(never hopefully).
Since I have ordered from Imagineering inc., their Tech Support phoned
me with a couple of questions about copper areas on the boards. Really
appreciated that on a small order someone was looking at the design and
did ask questions. The boards arrived as scheduled at a slightly lower
price than first place. Shipping was quicker, Chicago to Cleveland, Oh.
is usually 1 or 2 days ground, as opposed to 4 - 7 days from California. :)
