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.

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.

Wow, absolutely amazing. Gee, too bad MS Windows doesn't have that
capability. Oh, wait, it DOES update itself.

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.

Trust me...in very common use for electricians & woodworkers.
You do need a quality tool with a durable tip.

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

I use them when I'm building workbenches.
But a good quality bit is more critical with phillips
and slotted. The square shank is hard to screw up.
