Apparently, you can send in schematics for circuit boards to Pad2Pad, where they will quote, build and ship you a part based on your exact specifications. There is also reference to eMachineShop, for those of you more mechanically inclined, for building some home projects. Design the part on your PC, send it to the shop electronically, recieve custom built component(s). "

    looks like you are off-topic. Would you like an autoban?

    I'm a subscriber. I agree with what you are saying.

    I've paid for page views, not 503 errors.

    I don't understand what's up with this crap. Maybe someone at VA will give a crap if we gripe enough.

    Yes, if fed up enough, I can go else where. But dang it, they've already got my money. How do I get it back?
