Re: Greg Bullough: amusing bad old days, with :-) In about 1975, in a new, just being created graduate program, (in a Math Sciences Dept., so you KNOW we were software folks), we really did go to a machine shop (my grandfather's) and machine parts to make frames that supported our custom designed (one chip per) PC boards and carried power and ground to them. We did use off the shelf chips, but we mounted them ourselves. That lab was still in use when I got my PhD several years later. REALLY.
