Maybe you can get a job at the library, scanning fiche for people.

Copied from KiCAD-users mailing list. Hobbyists have long needed a
free/open source PCB autorouter for their EDA tool suites. One is now in
development. Please support this project. This is not my project but one I
strongly believe is very good for EDA hobbyists. Certainly useful for KiCAD
and maybe gEDA as well.

Hi All,
I'm working on a project here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qautorouter/
It is an auto-router that is written in C++ on Qt application framework,
reads/writes specctra file format and uses a plug-in style of interface
for the router engines.
It is very alpha at this stage, I have much of the UI, file I/O, and the
plug-in API operational. I am working on a "Simple Router" plug-in at
the moment that is implementing a simplified version of the expanding
box algorithm. The Simple Router will be used as a sort of template for
debugging the plugin-api and as a template for developing more
sophisticated plug-ins. Toporouter would be a good one.
In any case, it would be great to get a few other people on-board, a
developer or two that is quite proficient in C++ would be very helpful,
some hands-on with Qt would help a lot too.
Someone to look after the Windows(tm) and Mac OS-X build and release
would be very helpful.
Someone to help with packaging; windows installer, Mac OSX installer,
and linux .deb, .rpm packages would be helpful as well.
If you're interested, please just send me a little about what you can
contribute, and your sourceforge id.
Kind Regards,
Mike Sharkey

Why a valve and not a hole? Surely if it had holes you wouldn't
need to
worry about opening it? Or are there times when you need the valve
closed?

Would the

quicker to get
images from it, and if it was film-based the film would have
to be huge,
right?

Will a flatbed photo (transparency) scanner not do? My Epson 4180 will
do 4800 x 9600 dpi and I should think a fiche would fit under the light
in the lid without an adapter, or one could make up some sort of fiche
adapter from polystyrene sheet from the model shop. If an entire fiche
does not fit at once, one could scan it in two passes.

I might have this one, can you look on the box and post the exact part number. Is it 28-265?
Thanks, Jim

Hi Brian,
My son (age 11) bought the 200-in-1 kit at a garage sale last week but it was without a manual. Do you think you could scan the manual you have and send it to me? I am not much help for him with electronic gizmos I'm afriad.
Thank you,
Jeff Nickel
