Hello,
This whole SMD thing has me reluctant to continue experimenting with any new devices. Since I am an old _art, I have lost the keen eye and steady hand necessary to use those tiny components. That leaves me forced to use the larger DIP's, when they are available. As it is, I spend as much time on the floor looking for parts as I do soldering.
Audioguru sometimes chides us for using out-dated parts, but often that's all we can see.
Anyone else have this problem?
