Two screws by the handle, one in each front corner, one on each side
near the back of the keyboard. The other four screws hold the disk
drive to the bottom of the case. Leave those two in until after the
case is open. When all six screws are out set it on its back and care-
fully pry the front seam open. There is one clip near the center in
front, one on each side of the disk drive, and one on each side of the 
back panel. The back panel can be left with the top, less chance of
breaking the clips. Starting from the front, just rotate the top up as
you release the clips. If some break you will still be OK, the screws
will hold it together.
