It was typical Leo double speak. Question caught him off guard. It would seem that we will probably never know.

Mr. Simpson in a million years would never logon here and throw his weight around.

Edit: typo in name. Apologies.

I have recollection of a one-man-band company called Instant PCB's around that area. Used to or still does advertise in SC.
He used to make only tin plate boards using some home made process.
I don't know if it's the same one.

i have bought prototype boards from circuit labs, and they were good quality and reasonably low cost. I'm just curious. it doesn't really matter
