They are very reliable, have scope probe holes, and cost less than most of the other brands. One brand to stay away from is, well, so I don't get sued, A*P. Maybe you can guess what the Middle initial Might be. Their brown molded PLCC sockets are the pits, and cost us a great deal of extra debugging time due to crappy connections. Good luck entering into the exciting world of PLCC's! Gary
