I learnt about 10 years ago that it's quicker to
solder up the circuit
(using verowire or something), or wire-wrap it, than to solve all the
stray capacitance problems that those darn breadboards introduce.
I'm not saying that you can't build circuits on said breadboards, but you
need to take care. and it's better if you don't really know what you are
doing to solder the circuit up. You'll have less problems!.
That's so true! I was surprised to read in the spec's for my first ones
(and last, by the way) that the capacitance between adjacent contacts is 5
pf, I don't remember much else about them.
