well, my 2 cents. I really love the kinds of protoboards that have power rails running either on the outside or under rows of chips. And I really love having 3 (or more) pads per connection. Like these. Probably much harder to create, but I never liked doing prototyping using 1-hole pads. 3 or 4 hold pads make building circuits so much easier, IMHO.

Full announce on the VC Forums: http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?71177-GW-DEC-1-A-New-Quad-Height-D... These should be available within a month or so. I'll be putting up a preorder soon to gauge interest in the production run, which as usual will have hard gold plating on the edge connectors. I haven't gotten a quote for the cost, but I expect them to be $30-40 each for production boards. They'll be available at VCF Midwest as well as online! Thanks, Jonathan
