Ditto. I get a lot of mileage out of a Scope SC-9000A protoboard that my 
wife bought me for my birthday years ago. It's got decent power 
supplies, a sine/tri/sq signal generator (I'll bet there's an ISL8038 
lurking in there) and various switches/pots/indicators built in. She 
knows me so well.

The trick is to know how the protoboard can bite you and take steps to 
avoid it when you can and recognize it when you can't. Like any tool.

Any circuit I'm serious about gets transferred to pad-per-hole perfboard 
using the same techniques that Michael and René described.
