Last week my old laptop had a hardware malfunction. Seems 2 of those teeny tiny metric screws in the ULHS of the plastic frame had been loose and finally gave way. I took it into the really nice guys at my local Ace Hardware and asked them to help me find replacement screws. Turns out it's an impossible repair for the non-expert since the anchors(?) where the screws fit have been stripped bare of threads...therefore my new screws will not hold. So instead of sending this fine old friend to the repair shop I scrounged around the garage for a solution. Here it is, vise grips. I carried my visetop around like this all last week and while a tad bit heavier, I think it's a fine affordable solution. I know it has nothing to do with politics, but then I wouldn't be blogging without the story or the vise grips.
