I'm a big fan of breadboards, sometimes because I'm too lazy to design
veroboard, too.
We use them at college all the time (we have Digitrainer ones, with switches
and stuff, and analog ones with meters and oscillators in them). I've just
got a plain breadboard, and it's my little friend.

 I've noticed, like Veroboard, it's sometimes a country thing. Vero seems
really big in AU and UK, but, harder to get lots of different types in other
places.
