[ale] Where to get some Hard Drive mounting screws?

[Ron Frazier]

Derek,

I have a few screws sitting around. If you wanted to mail me one of 
yours, so I could match the thread size, I could mail yours and 4 others 
back. I doubt the heads would be the same shape. Or, you could check the 
stores Scott suggested. Radio Shack may even have them, or any computer 
repair shop. Email me privately if you want to do something via postal mail.

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
