[dba-Tech] Desktop recommendation

Hi Gustav,
I did that many years ago. The first Compaq screw (as I call them - because
they are a torx/straight slot combination) I ran into I stopped what I was
doing and went to the local hardware store and bought a set. Made the rest
of the job easier but I still hate them :o)

Everyone's got a pet peeve. This is mine.

John

Hi John

Those screws are actually quite nice. Go to your local handyman shop
and ask for a set of Torx bits - for assembling computers, the
cheapest quality is fine. You know: the right tool is half the job.
