The Brotherhood of the Cut Thumb and the TORX wrench

Ha ha! I might be getting out of retail and joining the Brotherhood of the Cut Thumb and the TORX wrench…

Wait. Let me back up.

On Wednesday, November 15th, I got a call informing me I was hired at The Computer Store. I commenced to work my retail position on the 20th…

After nine days of doing little besides answering the phones, while watching the computer’s service (repairs) department drowning in work, I received an email from the service manager looking for anyone who could fill the gap.

I fired off a resume and within 10 minutes he showed up and promised to talk to my manager and her manager and see if we could work something out.

  1. Okay, cut thumb I understand (computer cases are sharp!) but TORX wrench? What kind of macintoshes are you repairing at The Computer Store? Big beefy fuel-injected ones? "It’s a G4 overclocked to a G5, four wheel drive fuel injected something something with a translucent case."By the way, in our clip art catalogue, these are the first two listings in the "M" section:"M-16 rifle.""Macintosh."*L* excellent, eh?

  2. All the old one-piece macs required a special screwdriver (not a wrench, whoops) to get their cases open… the G4 cube uses the same screws to hold one of the plastic face-plates on, but, of course, you can slide the thing right open.
