yeah, you. :)
Well....we didn't *have* to have them assembled. The first 24 boards to go
out were soldered by hand. Hand-soldering that many surface mount components,
especially those tiny tiny resistors, is a real pain...as anyone who looks at
the board can imagine. We decided that it would be much easier, faster,
and cheaper to have them mass-assembled.
Boy were we WRONG about the "faster" part of that!! :/
I'm glad you like the look of the board...I still haven't seen it.
Much sadness there. (sick. just sick. I'm having to live vicariously
through my customers...)
I hope you get a chance to play with it soon!
