Total Posts: 1111 | The only reason someone should bother with a specialized screw in this case is the inability to avoid warping the screw. I haven't yet come across calc screw warpage that prevents anything.

Now I need to find another LCD.

Total Posts: 1111 | Back when I was in 8th grade, a rich kid threw away an 83+ in the garbage, so I took it home and cared for it and gave it water and let it crawl up my arm and stayed with it when it was asleep and called it Susie. Of course, back in 8th grade, I had no idea how much it was worth. I took it apart and reduced the LCD to powder on the front step of my house using a hammer.

Total Posts: 689 | Ah yes. The inevitable involvement of druggies. I am forced to sit next to a load of potheads and crack addicts in art class all day. Art class is evil, partly because of that and partly because it oppresses your creative freedoms by forcing you to follow a set path in your art, even if you're only taking the class because it's a prerequisite to a division of art that SHOULD be completely unrelated (e.g. computer-created art).
*If anyone is somehow offended by this tangent, I fart in your general direction, in advance.*

Edit: Never mind, I know the answer now.

Your tong is a great conductor. :)

Not that I'm specifically referring to anyone here. Except Nikky.
