Seriously though.. I sometimes attach screw to driver with a round and a half of masking tape. Works wonders for letting me screw in any position!! :thumbs:

372352 2005-07-16 03:13:00 Wow,so restrained a response!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .
Only one very restrained response in 23 posts before the temptation finally flew out the window . Didn't they do well? :D

pctek: Long fingernails when working on a PC? How the heck do you manage to not break them?! :eek:

Long slim fingers are quite handy but they generally equal to no strength when trying to prise those tight little plugs off hard drives and CD drives . They are great for moving jumpers around, though .

As for dropped screws, mine never fall somewhere convenient where I can roll them into view by tilting the PC . The only way to get the little demons out is to pick the case up and shake it . . . and mine weighs a ton . :waughh:

372353 2005-07-16 03:18:00 Are you working on the comp while its standing up?
Ummm . . . guilty as charged . :blush:

Well, yesterday anyway . Had to take screws in and out from both sides of the case for the optical drive so it was easier to work on with the case standing up .

Sometimes, though, for quick jobs I just park it on the floor alongside the computer desk to fiddle with when I can't be bothered taking it over to the table . :p

372354 2005-07-16 03:44:00 It appears you have been using the wrong technique all along Foxy . Now listen very carefully, for I shall say this only once, there is no substitute for practise, practise and more practise Foxy .

Now get to it .

BTW, it is totally erroneous to suggest the size and strength of your fingers has anything to do with how good you are at screwing, unless you were talking of manipulation of an intirely different kind :rolleyes:

372356 2005-07-16 04:44:00 Obviously magnetic screwdrivers are essential. But also useful is to place a towel on the surface you're working on (to ease static, and prevent scratches to case and surface) and tip the case on it's sides or ends while working on it. Greg (193)

Good point Personthingy, we have no idea how discrete Foxy has been. Has she been screwing any old thing, has she been screwing around?

Boy! this screwing business gets more complicated the more you get into it, doesn't it.

372358 2005-07-16 05:53:00 Boy! this screwing business gets more complicated the more you get into it, doesn't it.Unbelievably complex, yet you can almost guarantee people do it wherever you may go! :eek: personthingy (1670)
372359 2005-07-16 06:03:00 Hmm I wonder if Foxy is a creature of habit... does she do her screwing in one particular room, or wherever she wants to.
Is she discreet with her screwing or does she get very vocal?
:p

The mind wonders.. :waughh:

372360 2005-07-16 06:20:00 .... does she get very vocal?

Apparently she yells profanitys, but only when noone can hear!
