>> I don't know veroboard, but google hit 3 >> (http://www.smspower.org/smsreader/prepare.html) looks like what I >> call stripboard. Huh. Occasionally I see articles or web pages, mostly from Europe, that are constructed using "stripboard", and almost make it sound like stripboard is some sort of common hobbyist standard 'over there.' Yet as John notes, it's practically unavailable, and unheard of, here in the US. This is a 'philosophically interesting' state of affairs! What happened?
