After much head-bashing over the years over issues that turned out to be=20
flaky breadboard connections, I pretty much get PCB's made for most=20
anything I do now.  In rare cases, I'd use a breadboard, but for smaller=20
circuits where it's not overwhelming to continuity-test each connection,=20
and in some cases I'll use jumper clips for some connections.

Which reminds me that I keep meaning to make some generic/universal=20
proto-boards of my own design next time I place a PCB order, with some=20
basic/common things I use (PIC, power-supply, RS-232 interface) and some=20
breadboard-like traces.

Cheers,
-Neil.
