New IC Package

Hello All,
I find it harder and harder to handle the new IC package, mostly all, that are now using. The Ball Gate Array is impossible for us experimenters to use.
·
It is hard enough to replace one of these chips on a well made PCB, but when we need to use one for prototyping, it is impossible for us to use it without very expensive adaptors.
·
Does anyone have a low cost solution?
Waiting to hear a good idea from our Parallax users.
Thanks much,
Dave

    I agree ! I had to learn SMT soldering in college and that was OK but BGAs are a royal pain to deal with ..

    I have used a heat gun to do a very small chip one time but I had to epoxy it down so I would not fly off the table ..
