00 Phillips screw driver. They're rather hard to find. I've had some success
with the eye-glass screw driver from my Swiss Army knife. However, when I
went to add RAM to my new PB 12-inch, they wouldn't budge. My local
authorized Apple dealer was kind enough to undo the screws, wait while I
popped in the chip, then screw them back in, without charging me. I think
Apple should include them, kind of like Ikea does with an Allen wrench.

Further note about installing RAM on an iBook. Be very careful with the
screws. It's incredibly easy to drop them into the computer, never to be
seen again, just heard as they rattle about, threatening to short out
something.
