Default IBM computer monitor - followup

There is also a couple of springy elongated u-shaped plastic thingies
along the bottom where the case-parts join; they kinda can be moved
around a little bit if you squeeze 'em but they dont seem to have any
effect on holding things together no matter which way they're moved
around. Maybe after I've got the top separated they'll do something.

I made a couple little release-tools today and got into the monitor -
there was about a half dozen little plastic bits floating around in
there, no
wonder it rattled - it was amazingly clean inside, though, I guess
it's led a
sheltered life, aside from being dropped once.

If I'd had a couple good real small diameter screwdrivers
they probably would have worked for separating it, too.
