The Boarduino also has proper pins, instead of sockets, making it much
nicer for using with protoboards.  I kind of prefer the boarduino,
with one caveat: you have to solder them together yourself.

(And another thank-you to Rachel.  Lots of us have wanted to do this
kind of bootstrapping activity, but haven't made time for it.
Do-ocracy in action!)
