I hear that... Even if I could drum up the spare cash to drop on all the chemicals, board, equipment, etc. that I would need to start printing PCBs, I would probably lack the time and the attention span to get it done (at least without sacrificing something else I'm already doing). I wish I had a long holiday, I can get an amazing amount done in a few free days.
