Hmmmm. I like that idea a lot. I'll have to checkout the price. I was
a little worried that the .1" headers would be too wimpy. I could go
with the posts from .156" connectors (like PC power supplies connect
to), but they're pretty damn big and you might be able to get enough
leverage on one to break the PCB before the pin would bend.

I wonder if long-pin WW sockets are expensive...
