[TheForge] Way OT -- breadboarding circuits

[Bruce Freeman]

This posting is OT and will be of interest only to folks who
breadboard their own electronic circuits.  I figure there must be
someone on this eclectic list besides me who does that from time to
time.

I came across a nifty patent, now expired, on how to transfer a
circuit from a solderless breadboard to a solderable PC board.  Go to
Google Patents and type in 4080729.

I'm not aware that this idea has ever been commercialized, but I don't
know why not.  A very cool idea -- the best kind of genius.  Namely,
it's simple, and obvious in retrospect.  I'd have bought a kit to do
it.   There were MANY times over the years I could have used it.

I've gone to a little trouble to implement it in two different ways.
I've already used one of these implementations one time.
