It was actually a very good learning experience for me.
One of the best things I got from it was learning to use the "rats nest" feature on my PCB software.
The Rats Nest always freaked me out so I left it turned off.
After reading the tutorial that Robert posted the link to, I went ahead and turned the rats nest on... and learned to use it.
It really DOES help a lot in getting the parts laid out better and minimizing the amount of traces that have to wander all the way across the board.

Anyway, I should have boards here by the end of next week to test.
Hopefully there aren't too many mistakes...
