No problem: I've been into the hardware and systems end of things for a 
while now, and actually involved in a project to make cheap serial 
console boards for blade systems. It took me 10 minutes of sad, sad, sad 
laughter before I could calm down enough to explain that the very 
expensive boards they'd just had made didn't have ground plains or 
bypass caps, and that no, you cannot make a digital circuitry board 16" 
long  that size drawing that much power without either just becuase 1 
layer boards are cheaper, even if your engineer who did that did get a 
"B" in circuit design.
