About 2 years ago, I somehow came across this inexpensive printed
circuit board manufacture place in Sierra Vista, AZ. It was a single person
operation as far as I could tell, headed by this Don Fletcher fellow. It
sounded like a really great deal: $0.25/sq-in double sided plated through, no
setup charge,
assuming you use Don's own PC layout program and send him the disk. I never
actually tried it out, but I meant to. Anyway, I tried to call the guy
last week: number no longer in service. I called information, no Don Fletcher
in Sierra Vista or anywhere nearby. Even the guys that implemented the layout
program (Metagraphics somewhere in CA) are nonexistent.
This is really unfortunate as I could use such a service just about
now. So what I'm hoping is that one of you jokers out there might have run
across this deal in your travels and you may be persuaded to expound on its
fate. Last I heard (about a year ago) business was booming and he had a real
receptionist instead of recording.
I would really appreciate any information on this operation or some-
thing similar (low cost no setup PC that is).
You can reach me at my university address: madhu@lpf.umd.edu or post
if you feel like abusing net.bandwidth.
