-=PCTechTalk=- Re: CD ROM Drive-Update

Thanks G.  That will take away some of the "mystery".
I did get down under the desk with my flashlight and looked the case over. 
No screws.  In tiny print I read some instruction--had to get out a 
magnifying glass to read the darn thing--on how to open the case.  I never 
did figure it out.  What is a bezel anyway???  I finally decided I am too 
old to be crawling around under the desk anyway so I called my local tech. 
He will get back with me next week and set up a house call.  I wanted to do 
some other upgrades like a new monitor, some more RAM, etc.
Thanks everyone for the information and the cheering section.  I will surely 
need some more of that as time goes on!
