Yeah.  I have all kinds of equipment with socketed chips, probably not the 
highest quality either, and never have problems.  Besides, just loosening a 
chip and reseating it should correct any long term contact problem.  I take 
comments about current leakage, etc., with a grain of salt.  But since I 
counldn't find any 8 pin sockets in my boxes of misc electronic parts, I 
figured I'll just forget about socketing.
