I saw one anti-sponsor, sort of. They claimed they take Gerber RS 274-X. I gave them a valid Gerber RS 274-X (happened to be from PCB) and they said they cannot read it and that they can read a Gerber from everyone except me. So I went to a competition and they had no problem with it. I did a lot of boards at the competition and basically everyone who builds Ronja takes boards from there. And they have a much cuter guy at the counter there :) CL< > > The folks at 4pcb.com were very helpful when I was working on fixing > the gerber exporter.
