Not like me a number of months ago, testing out an old idea 
of where ever photocopier toner was conductive or not so I 
could make Macro Roms.  Of course I got infinitive 
resistence on my Multi-metre.

Anybody interested in homebrew, there are a number of these schemes 
using ink jet printer technology and macro-circuits on the peices of 
plastic, using variouse drawings for the components.  So maybe we 
could make processor designs with this.

Certainly would be cheaper than fabbing, but who would be interested 
in buy these macro products, wouldn't they be too slow and not as 
effective as surfacemounting a real chip?
