	I have a Compaq that was given to me, HD dead but everything
else seems OK.  Great, I think, all I have to do is swap in a new
HD.  Pop the box, and there's about half an inch or so of space between 
the HD and the CD-ROM, and I've been unable to find a screwdriver
with an offset that small.  Anyone here have suggestions as to where
to get one?
