Why don't they make the pins/leads on IC sockets just a little longer?

dunno, but wire-wrap sockets have much longer pins

They barely reach through to the other side of the standard PC pboard.
And they don't like solder, to boot. Bitch bitch bitch.

Next time I'll tin them all before trying to use them.

Try a different brand. those ones with folded sheetmetal contacts are pretty
crappy, the ones with machined pins cost only a few cents more and are much
nicer.
