- I think ScotchFlex is *great* for prototyping and debug. It is FAR
- more convenient than WW for debug -- because it's a lot easier to
- change. Of course I'd never ship a product, not even a
- one-of-a-kind, that used it -- but that's not what it's for.

- Yes, the cost is relatively high on a per-DIP-socket basis, but
- everything except the wire is easily re-usable. ie you can pull
- the wires off the back of a ScotchFlex board MUCH more easily than
- you could pull wire-wrapped wires off of wrap posts.

- Ok, N different people have told us that stuff is great but expensive.
- Now just how expensive is this stuff and where can I get some?
