That's the way I did it. :-( I now use a steel rod that is just small enough to reach past threads, but that's a bad idea too because thickness at bottom of thread hole is thin, so I risk punching thru front of case. So far so good, but I would never try that on somebody else's compact. Gamba <http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2> -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
