[sdiy] Futurlec for parts...

[allenre at umich.edu]

All this talk about Futurlec is making me not want to order from them, which is
fine since they only have one part I want, that is the LARGE prototyping board
for soldering on.  Now, where else can I find this, anyone? Here's the link at
Futurlec:

If I can find the same piece elsewhere, then I'm all set.  Only problem is that
Futurlec doesn't give a manufacturer or part number.
