When those white breadboards came out that allowed you to wire entire circuits with no soldering at all it changed my life. Until then we would wire wrap, or solder to pieces of copper wire used as posts stuck in, erm, breadboard. chips always went into a socket holder whose leads were then soldered to the breadboard (or wire-wrapped).
My first was a HeathKit digital electronics course which contained power supplies, sources of +5/0 V, and leds to read output.
