Re: [TCML] PC boards

As far as perf boards go, they are fine if you like wires. I prefer the 
perfboard with the square copper tabs on the bottom. It allows you to 
place components and then use solder bridges to route the path along the 
squares. If you need to correct a path, simply heat up the solder in the 
area to be corrected and tap the board to remove solder. The only 
disadvantage to this method is the required amounts of solder....
