So you mean to say that these older boards can be dangerous if broken or cut? It seems kind of hard to believe that cutting into a board like that will result in noticeably more exposure to PCBs than just handling it. But I trust your wisdom, and you know much more about that kind of thing than I do. I'm definitely going to start watching how I handle them from now on.
