Nice thing about some manufactures, they actually put arrows on
the "Take these out" screws so you don't end up unscrewing
something and hearing the "clink of death" as a blind nut falls
off inside somewhere.


Usually sony is so interested in shaving the last 100th of a penny of
the final cost, that they'll use a piece of tape instead of screws
even if it reduces the lifespan to 5%, as long as it is a likely to be
at least a day over the warranty.
