I completely understand where you are coming from Bill. But once I finish up what I'm doing, I just like to button things up. :)

I don't remember any having screws past the first month or two of ownership. Except , maybe my first 16k Coco 2... but I eventually took the screws out of that one to see if it was an easy upgrade, only to find it was one with the 8 soldered chips. I never upgraded it... and never put the screws back in.

I was always hacking on something inside so I just left them all out. Same with my drives. I was always changing them in and out, so the case screws stayed out.
