- Hmmm. What size torx is it? I once bought a $5 bit set, which had six or
- so torx bits, ranging T-5 through T-30, at Ames (a small K-Mart-like store.)

- Television cable boxes often have an offshoot of torx head screws -- they
- have a nipple in the center of the inverted star. Does the PB have this?
- If so, you can get a set of these "security torx bits" from a good
- automotive parts store for about $20.00. (Or -- I could sell mine... :-)
