prototyping methods

[keithw at sand.net]

Ok guys, what prototyping methods do you use on your boards?
I'm used to digital, either solder-less breadboards or wire  wrap.
And these days I'm spoiled, we can get 2-5 pieces of PCB with
turn around times of a couple of days, so the first prototype
I deal with tends to be etched in copper.

Of course the $500+ cost of those PCBs is a bit more acceptable
to my clients than it is to me personally.

Do you hardwire?  Or maybe use a pre-etched general purpose board.

Thanks,
