Rimu PCB?

[Joel Koltner]

Has anyone here used Rimu PCB? I saw it a few years ago
(http://www.hutson.co.nz/) and it looked like it was quite good for the price,
but it now appears that it hasn't been updated in over two years. Darn...

Yeah. It appears to have stalled in infancy.
With the ultra-low price he was asking,
it appears he couldn't sell enough copies to justify any more effort.

Even the guy who was jazzed about it
