that would certainly explain certain motorway service-stations here (i think
i just had a satori moment)

anyway, on topic comments:

sorry, i've no idea where a review of stripboard magic could be found, but i
do hear that it's rather good - it basically takes a circuit diagram, and
automatically transfers it to a stripboard layout

stripboard is a kind of perf board with copper strips down one side...
