And I forgot what the question was that started this screwy thread.

Brief re-cap:
- Someone has a camera with a stucked motor-drive cap and
  asked how best to un-stuck it.
- Someone suggested removing the bottom plate of the camera
  to get at the stuck cap.
- Someone cautioned that cross-point screw drivers should
  be used instead of the Phillips screw drivers.

I think I'm guilty of starting this whole screw thread because I was the one who asked about the stuck motor drive cap. :-/ As I mentioned in a message earlier today, in the end, I got the screws off with a 1.5mm flathead screwdriver. No crosspoint, so star-shaped head, just a plain old flathead. The screws don't look any worse for the wear and I didn't have to do any research on crosspoint screws! =)
