He has a completely wonderful point, but there will always be a fight between 'user servicable' and 'miniature', especially when design departments with a hatred of exposed screwheads get ahold of things.
Though I am currently happy that I found a set of mini-torx drivers in the basement, left by the previous owners of my house. I will no longer have any problems disassembling my old powerbook 540c...
