Anyone know where to get cheap/free 22AWG solid wires?  This is for 
breadboards, headers on embedded boards, short test leads, etc.  It 
would be nice if they come color coded and bundled, but singles are okay.

FYI, this is where I get my supply of cheap/free wires:

 1. 18AWG -- Old ATX power supply has lots of color coded 18AWG stranded
    wires. *Con*: Their plastics insulation melts too easily compared to
    other wires that you'd buy separately.
 2. 24AWG -- Old network cable has 4 pairs of 24AWG solid/stranded
    wires, nicely bundled.
 3. 24AWG -- Old phone cable has 2,4,6 solid wires, nicely bundled. 
    24AWG (I think).
