of corners you're using?

On my AMD motherboard, the bus traces have s-shaped wiggles in them to keep the lengths all the same. Rounded corners, too.

I have several boards from a Cray-1 supercomputer here; they are chock full of such wiggles. The processor modules in the Cray J90 machines also have those wiggles. If I can find the motivation (or the caffeine) I may take a few pics of them.
