   Or, in a 420R, if you just use a screw driver, you can actually rip
the metal sleeve for the screw clear off the memory riser. There's two
of them, you know, and I was suprised to learn that the difficulty of
finding multiple objects that are loose inside a computer rises with the
_square_ of the quantity of broken parts, not linearly. Who knew?

   Grrrr.....

   I will be retiring that 420R from production as Sun puts it out to
EOSL pasture, but its never really been Right In The Head since the tech
performed his radical lobotomy on it and the we got all the guts
swapped.
