This one I
must agree with. Thank god I had some metric phillips
drivers to turn those Torx screws!!!
Since when does the use of Torx screws make something difficult to
dismantle? They're a lot better than the crosspoint (Phillips, Pozidriv,
etc) screws, which almost seem to be designed to cause the driver to 'cam
out' when you try to shift them.
You forgot one category: Most difficult to open.
The last LTE I tried
to
>open required the skill of a surgeon to dissassemble. Dismantling is easy, anyway. It's getting it back
together that's
interesting...

Generally I'd agree, but in the case of the DEC VR201 I was challenged.
It took me some 2 hrs. and I was ready to rip the case off before I finally
figured out that "that interesting little button on the rear" concealed THE
screw that held it all together. I think some fine art students on peyote
must have designed that case. It is unique I will admit.
