Me too.  I rarely use a socket (at Paul's urging).  However, I am stilling
here looking at two unbuilt Time Machince PCBs, knowing that one of these
ICs is kind of a special or at least not common chip wondering the same to
myself, "which of these if any should I socket?"  I have not socketed any of
my Blacet stuff so far.
