Yeah, got the stuff, but my hands are no longer as steady as they 
used to be, nor my eyes as keen.  At one time, I used to be able to 
wirewrap 0.100" boards without assistance.  Now, it's a struggle 
using a 10 power loupe.

I use adapters for things such as uCs and CPLDs and can do those 
right most of the time, but occasionally, I mess up and have to start 
all over again.  Thank heavens for my Wood's metal desoldering trick 
or I would have made garbagge out of the adapter boards.

Cheers,
Chuck
