This is the first project i've done with PCB, i've never designed any
PCB before.
That said, N is nice, to rename text labels/fix typo's! I just kept
re-creating them. But I cannot name an element the same as something
else. E.g. in this design JP1 is JP1 for all the 3 pinned jumpers, I
named them JP201 and JP301 to help with netlist/drc check rats nest etc
but in the final pcb that will be printed, it should all be just JP1.

I think when the design is finished and 'approved' by people from the
list, I'll edit the text file, since there's no name collision checks
there, final review and print :)
