I wonder if there's any feasibility to using some kind of a CNC setup to do 
wire-wrapping?  Any of you guys have any thoughts on this?
SOMEwhere, aeons ago, I saw a video of a "professional" WW machine going TO 
it.  It'd strip the end, wrap it at about 3000 RPM, move "least number of 
bends" to next pin, cut, strip, and wrap, and zip to next pin to do.  Musta done 3 
wires per second.  HORRIBLY-dangerous looking contraption!  But I now have NO 
clue who/what that was. 

BUT such a machine is kinda WAY out there in terms of complexity, etc.  If 
built so that such would work reasonably well, I am sure it'd cost at least a 
couple $thousand, NOT counting the computer!
