    Dear Phyllis,
       I've thought about it a few times, but the bottom line is that the
    best PC board layouts are built with 45-degree bends on all the wires,
    and magic isn't very well suited to do non-manhattan wiring.  Plus,
    via holes and surround can't be made circular.  So you're better off
    using another program, like "pcb", even though the user interface and
    graphics might not be as advanced as magic's.  This is not to say that
    it can't be done;  it just doesn't seem to be worth the effort.
