I’m so old that when I made circuits as a kid in the 1970s I literally mounted them on a wooden board like we used to cut bread on upstairs in the kitchen.

- JohnFen 3y agoI remember mounting my circuits on corrugated cardboard as a child. Uphill and against the wind in both directions.
- gumby 3y agoThey are called "breadboards" for a reason. I have been known to use a piece of cardboard for a few small dead-bug circuits from time to time. Google used cardboard rather than cases to separate their early servers (IIRC the cardboard was on a shelf and the board on top, actually).
