I don't think drilling is entirely the issue.  Perfboard, or perfboard 
with copper donuts (as sold by Radio Shack) is very INEXPENSIVE.  
Veroboard (tradename) or stripboard (common name) has NEVER been common 
in the USA.  It has only been since I've made some good friends online 
from Europe that I've been introduced to this fabulous product.  
Subscribing to European electronic hobby magazines has increased my 
desire to find an inexpensive source.  Honestly, as wonderful as 
stripboard is to work with, it baffles me that nearly the rest of the 
world outside of North America uses this stuff and hobbyists here are 
nearly clueless of its existence.
