Unpacked my new Mac desktop, plugged it in and it immediately started
updating itself. Just for grins, got the 24" screen. Quiet for a desktop.

I thought the Mac's were good to go from the getgo. No updating ever.

Mine is. And has been running superbly for two years. It's performance
is possibly due to the fact that I don't dink with it. Especially with
highly precision crafted screwdrivers.

I recall there were Reed and Prince screwdrivers.
Very like a Phillips, but with a sharper point. My dad had one, which
he used on phillips screws.

There's been all sorts of screws and drivers developed. Square, Torx,
slotted phillips combos, etc. Oh, and hex head!

Don't forget the bestest and most practical drive ever, the Robertson
(square drive). Simple, cheap, and never slips out.

Slotted, phillips, and 1/4 hex combo is common. Washing machine sheet
matal back panel, for example.
