[HH] schematic and layout tools?

[Drew Van Zandt]

Make your boards at oshpark.com, or at seeedstudio.com.

Oshpark is $5/sq. in., and you get 3 copies, or $10/sq. in. for 4 layers.

There are libraries that don't show up by default; also, I'm accustomed to
making my own symbols for stuff, it's part of the process - I always want
to play with new things anyway, and that will never be in the library.  I
might share my TinyCAD/FreePCB libraries, I suppose.
