I am ready to jump into my own PCBs and was wondering if there is anyone in the area that likes to experiment with them and would like to show me the ropes, IE. eagle layout stuff, eagle to printer, printer to etch and so on.
Drop a line if you can help, need help or just want to chat in the area.

I was reluctant to use Eagle because of commercial, size and licensing restrictions.
Kicad (see http://www.lis.inpg.fr/realise_au_lis/kicad/ ) turned out to be a very nice free suite including schematic capture, PCB Layout, even 3D PCB modeling! I used it with good result for the commercial version of "Add-A-Com Whole House Intercom for Standard Telephone Systems." See Whole House Telephone Intercom Update for a brief description.
I am close to you, in Saratoga.
I thought you deleted this multipost BOZ?
