Someone getting into electronics, PCB kits?

I really do get sick of people that know damn all trying to give
advice on this NG.

PCB manufacture is a subject in itself, for amateur use it is only
employed after the CCT has been built and tested, even then it is
pointless, as the "breadboarding" on Veroboard or similar will be
perfectly functional and can be as neat as a PCB.

If you a design, a PCB is $2 delivered from China:

The main issue with an old magazine is that you don't have gerbers to send
to the fab, you'd have to do some awkward scanning and image processing to
make them.

But if you have the files and can wait a month for the slow boat it's pretty
cheap and easy these days.
