  I'm very curious to know your results from the toaster oven when you 
try it.  I just received a tabletop reflow oven (a purpose-built one 
;)) and will be attempting a BGA (Xilinx CPLD) in it soon.  Good luck 
with your efforts.

  And I echo your "thanks" to the PCB developers...I sent out two 
layouts yesterday, and I will likely be sending out a third today if I 
can un-wrangle a few traces, all done with PCB (GTK version) on a Sun 
UltraSPARC workstation running Solaris9.
