I respectfully submit that "solderless breadboards" are not such
a good idea.  Often the intermittant connections, unwanted capacitance
and other parasitic effects will run you in circles longer than if you had 
used
a reasonable breadboard (soldered) technique.

I use unclad perf board (vector board) with T-42 push in terminals... and
when I'm done (unless it gets too big...) it can go right from the development
bench into a box to be used on the road for the next twenty years... which
the solderless breadboard cannot do.

OTOH those terminals cost $.04 each... in thousands. But they allow as much
re-soldering as you can stand... perfect for trying out new values.
If you leave the leads a little long you can reuse components just as easily.
