Hi John,

Actually I DO use pref board. I use it to try out new wire-wrap board
layouts. Press the wire-wrap sockets into the board anywhere, then when
the sockets and other components all fit, it's quite simple to draw it
into whatever CAD you need. This guarentees that the parts needed will
fit. However, I'm always trying to cram N+1 parts onto a board!
