It's also a lot slower (you can etch and drill a PCB in an afternoon --
I've done it, whereas it'll take about a week for the PCB to be sent back
to you by post (at least if your snail-mail is anything like ours).

When you're prototyping, modifying, trying things as you go, it rapidly
becomes impossible if you have to wait a week for every new version of
the PCB!
