[NTLK] FW: iFixit: Apple ¹ s Diabolical Plan to Screw Your iPhone

[R A Parker]

The first time I had ever heard of a Torx bit was because of the Mac Plus. I remember I had to order a special 12" bit/driver from a 3rd party supplier, in the back of the MacWorld magazine. Not cheap. And, I had to even supply my own grip.
