Wait - light switches upside down? My dad was from England, and when
he moved to Canada he installed all our light switches so that down
was ON, much to the confusion of everyone else.
Hopefully he brought his Robertson screws over with him to install the
switches. :-)
No need!
I don't understand that. The Robertson screws shown on Wiki are
all flat head types (e.g., intended for flush mounting in
countersunk holes).
I don't think Dave said what he meant. I think he meant (straight) slot
headed screws which require a flat blade driver.

If the existing program does a reset, it probably
rewrites the directory and resets the LSTAR to make
it look empty. This would be very efficient.
If there are many members, any method, even in assembler, that
deletes members one at a time, will potentially suck performace-wise.
