got a 1st gen 17" pb. One of the five screws that keep the bottom of the case on (right underneath the display) fell out this week. Hmmm. Could easily screw it back in if I had one of those tiny little torex screwdrivers. Anybody know what size torex bit I should use?

Your local Home Depot should know if you take the screw with you.
NOW YOU SEE ME! 2.4 MBP and 2.0 MBP (running ubuntu)

It's a hex bit, not a Torx bit, and I believe it's a 1/16.

EDIT: Oops, maybe they're Phillips heads. This guide will probably help, http://pbfixit.com/Guide/55.18.0.html
