[time-nuts] OT Prototype Boards

2.54 mm pitch is close enough to the .1 in "standard". The through-hole
DIP chips will fit fine.  I used to build stuff with .1 in perfboard,
sockets, and wire-wrap but only use a very few glue chips now and
pinboards.  They don't have to be shot in rockets . . .
My only bitch currently is with the absurd gaps in the Arduino boards
Grrrrrr.
