Wow, you guys scare me.
I imagine the way the other prototypes shown in this thread started, was to take a board, plug in the parts in some manner that visually appealed to the builder, without regard to the circuits flow, then take a bunch of wires to hook up the different connections. Wherever they may be.
I suppose it's just different ways of doing things, but that's way to many wires for me.
This board is still a work in progress. But it shows a different way of interconnecting parts.
I don't even know that I could explain how to do it other than to say, you have to be able to visualize it in your head, before you put it on the board.
I try to put as many parts as possible, close to the parts they connect to. Minimizing wires (also called antenna) as much as I possibly can. Power busses are run on the top of the board with insulated wires.
It also keeps my cats from playing with the "antenna".

Ok, obviously not a PICPROTO18, but the ideas could still apply.
