Thanks!  I'll take a look.  I figure for the dozen or so that
I need I can assemble them myself, if push comes to shove.

The problem most "little projects" have is board costs.
Getting the board laid out (I can do that) and then getting
a small quantity of them made (need a fab house for that!).
With *tiny* boards you can get clever and often have a
small number of them built for less money than the usual
"come-on" discounts ("$500 off your first order" -- "Great!
This order should be $510!  :> ")
