Re: More //c woes...

["Frank Townsend" <ftownsen@iamdigex.net>]

A technique that avoids prying on the plastic (demonstrated at Kfest I am
told) is as follows:

"Remove the case screws and place the IIc right side up on a flat surface.
Extend the
handle down, lift the back end up a few inches and let go.  When the handle
hits the flat surface, it will pop the case apart."

[Thanks to Ed who reminded me of this technique.]
