I have received my kits. Thanks for taking the effort to put together the 
mass buy. If you can send me a tranparency of the PC board or if someone 
wants to take the time to design a single sided PC board using PADS or 
Easytrax. I could run off a bunch of printed circuit boards, drilled and 
etched to make assembly easier and more professional.
