It can be hard to find metal. My laptop has a DB-15F for an external monitor or projector on the side, and I get a chassis connection there using a short screw in one of the two tie-down nuts. Seems to work fine. FWIW: Youngest son and family gave me the Steve Jobs biography for Christmas. I'm about half way through, but far enough to understand that Jobs very specifically intended that users not be able to take the Mac apart, to the extent that they used some screws that required a special tool. Don't know about the Macbook Pro, but if I had one, I don't think I'd take the screws out. He was pretty paranoid about this ... it might self-destruct. :-) 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2012 Cal QSO Party 6-7 Oct 2012 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
