from the Warranty Violation Division
I want to work at the Hardware Obfuscation Department at Apple that makes laptops OBSCENELY difficult to take apart. I want to select twenty different types of screws to use in a single machine. I want to develop new and interesting layers of plastic clips that are impossible to get apart without stressing something. I want to bury the hard drive so deep in the casing that it takes three days to replace it. I want to do all this and more.
I want the folks at Apple Warranty Repair to believe this is a purely hypothetical rant.

Frighteningly enough, I owned one of those. It belittled my manhood.
Then there was the special "case cracker" tool to lift and pry apart the two halves of the case. I didn't have one so I used half a cassette tape case instead.

often require unique parts and tools. See RadTech [radtech.us] for the right tools and get the service manual [earthlink.net]. Small hands and patience are useful.
