When I started playing with electronics ... about 30 years ago ... that
was exactly what I did. It was the only way I could afford to play.

Things are not so easy these days, with lots of custom ICs and
PCB mounted resistors etc leaving leads which are a little
on the short side, as well as being more difficult to remove.
