Where do I get the screwdrivers to add Ram to a 12" PB 1.5 Ghz? I think I read somewhere that I would need a #0 and/or #00. I went to Lowes and they didn't have anything smaller than a #00.

Would any major chain stores carry them?

Thanks

Just go to a drug store and tell them you need an eye glass repair kit. The kit contains the right size screw driver and it usually only costs a few bucks.

Home Depot might have a small screwdriver/torx/allen driver set.

I just got a set from Fry's Electronics. Also try Radio Shack.

I got a great set of jeweler's screwdrivers from Radio Shack for $10. Pay no attention to the stated sizes of the screws (#0, #00, etc.) Just use the screwdriver that fits most securely without slipping.

Use your hands to remove tiny little screws?

Personally I find it hilarious that you have the hots for my gramma. Especially seeins how she is 3x your age, and makes your Brittney-Spears-wannabe 30-something wife look like a rag doll who went thru WWIII with a burning stick of dynamite up her a** :)
