The *REAL* reason (believe it or not) that we used TorX head screws
on the A500 is to minimize the number of stripped philips head tips
one goes through in the course of a normal production day.

Before TorX head screws, we would chew up one a day per station on
the average.  Since the production guys made the change, we haven't
replaced any.
