In relation to them, does anyone know a good place to get a Torx tool needed to open up the Mac? A regular Torx screwdriver is too short, and a Torx socket that Sears sells is too fat to fit in the handle. Jeff White University of Pennsylvania jeff@eniac.seas.upenn.edu

A regular Torx screwdriver is too short, and a Torx >>socket that Sears sells is too fat to fit in the handle. An Allen wrench of the correct size and length will also work.

It needs to be about 6 inches long. What department, auto or tools?
