I guess you've never had to repair a mess someone's made because of this shield. I have, plus I couldn't count how many times I've upgraded chips to MM3's, I would have had to do the shield over on the same boards twice! You don't want to keep resoldering a spot on a board if you don't need to. Plus it's in the way if you need to test connections if it doesn't work, plus you could short you wire resoldeing. Not to mention the extra heat stress you're putting on the boad for no reason.I don't consider it a hatchet job, an improvement maybe.I don't appreciate what that implied to my MOD work either. I saved myself quite a bit of troubles trashing those shields. It just adds an extra margin for error, it IS a waste of time to resolder or even argue about an old board worth next to nothing. LOL, I must be board as h#ll !!!
