I really think I could give you, Samual, and Mick a run for your money
if I set my mind to it but Gilles I couldn't touch if I tried.

Sounds like fun. The topic will be "Printed Circuit Board Plating Facility".

O.T. but,
There is an artist, Peter Halley
[American Minimalist Painter, Born 1953]
who bases some of his work on the circuit board.

Hum, I don't think I get your drift here.

Do you mean: "Why would someone spend 20 years
of his life basically painting the same painting over
and over again?"
Or, as a pretty much Blue Chip artist do you mean:
"Is he only in it for the money?"

Or...

I know a lot of SCA calligraphers who show their work to each other, and
everybody complains, "Why is your stuff so beautiful when mine sucks?"
EVERYONE says it!

Except for the egotistical, black-turtleneck-and-beret-wearing,
clove-cigarette-smoking, espresso-drinking goateed beatnik wannabe's
(present company excluded ;-), most artists are convinced of their own
inferiority at art.  This has mostly to do with the fact that you are
all to familiar with every last flaw in your own work (after all, you
spent hours working on it), but most people (including other artists)
won't be nearly so cognisant of your failings.  Hence, you are your own
worst critic.
