I'm more of a wire wrap traditionalist.

When I did my technician course, it was still using the old program and we had a wirewrap course (I did my course from 2007 to 2009)

We had this big bread board that we could connect to an ISA slot in an old PC. A guy connected a capacitor wrong by mistake. When he plugged the ISA card in, the capacitor caught fire like it would in a cartoon.

He was dumbfounded and it was funny as hell.
