I've assembled boards with 100 or so 0603 caps,

work carefully. Mine worked the first try.
Yeah, got the stuff, but my hands are no longer as steady as they
used to be, nor my eyes as keen. At one time, I used to be able to
wirewrap 0.100" boards without assistance. Now, it's a struggle
using a 10 power loupe.
I use adapters for things such as uCs and CPLDs and can do those
right most of the time, but occasionally, I mess up and have to start
all over again. Thank heavens for my Wood's metal desoldering trick
or I would have made garbagge out of the adapter boards.
