I can second that; used it myself quite a bit, but that was awhile ago.
Didn't know they still made it.

Of course, that is true with any correctly applied wire-wrap.  In fact,
that is why you technically shouldn't re-use wire-wrap sockets - the pin
corners have been dulled by any previous wrap.

Here again, I'll second that.  You usually get by with fewer levels or
wrap too.
