In my head i'm thinking that it would be damn convenient if someone made a breadboard that was set up like vero or strip-board. normal breadboards have connected strips, obviously, but they're short - like 5-10 holes per strip - and to make a long strip you have to use a series of jumpers, etc. I'd like to see a breadboard that is an array of LONG strips. Like maybe 50 holes long.

The problem with that idea, of course, is that with a standard type of breadboard there is no way to break a strip (i.e. put in a trace cut). But i'm thinking that if your breadboard sockets were little normally-closed leaf springs, then inserting a plastic lead into them would make a trace cut.

Does that make sense to anyone? Does such a thing exist?

Well, my breadboard has modules you can arrange the way you want. You have the 2 x 5 holes in a row block like you describe, and the 2 long strips (perpendicular to the 5 in a row), like the two long strips shown from the Beavis pic.

With many of these two blocks, you can have your 50 holes strip. But how would you cut tracks when needed? You actually can't...
