ROTFL! 

You are indeed evil. This is _exactly_ what happened when we took my
Vaio apart. Sony use -- wait for it -- non-standard screw sizes. Well,
"didn't fit our first two sets" sizes. However, the set of useless 
"what are these sizes anyway?" screwdrivers I got at a Linux Expo from 
HP suddenly came in handy. They were the right size for Vaios.
