" I was using a magnifying glass to count the number of grooves on the head of a screw ... and I was arguing with the supplier because these parts had 35 grooves. They were supposed to have 25." Usually on screws the head does not have groves, the shaft body does. 6/32 screw has 32 TPI, (threads per inch) on a #6 body. The small screws on computers have small heads, 25 or 32 grooves would be microscopic. ??? With constant threads/distance that could mean a difference in fastner length. ??

I loved our Olds Super 88 Holiday, monster 4 barrel carb and 4 speed automatic. At 70 mph you floor it and it shifts into "passing gear" and you hear those 2 large barrels sucking air as it plants you deep into the seats. :) It's even more impressive if you consider how much it weighs.

Forgot to mention, the Montgomery Ward microwave we got in 1963 just died. Cost 400$ in those days. The new LG is much bigger, more powerful, uses less energy, huge dish rotates, we love it. My inflation calculator says that the 400$ price is now $4,245.75. Out the door at Home Depot for 2K $ the LG is actually 1/2 price. :)
