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?
