Hanns-Konrad,
My eyes too are 50+, so I bought a magnifier lamp. Soldering a 44 pin
SMD AVR is easier than a 40 pin DIL, because a one to 1.5 second wipe
with a hollow tip is all it takes to solder 11 pins.
It's those pesky little chicken-food passive components, which
tombstone at the first opportunity, that I try hard to design out.
With SMD, you can do single sided, without holes! ;-)
