   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?
