I got the Torx for my old Powerbook 15 inch from Sears (or was that 
Canadian Tire or Home Depot?). As for the tools for the 12 inch 
Powerbook G4 that replaced the 15, I bought them from Radtech, the same 
guys who make those really great screen protectors and other nifty 
doodads for mac laptop users. You can find them at 
http://www.radtech.us (look at their tools section).

Speaking of tools, I was rummaging through my old tools yesterday, and 
I got out one of those old long torx tools for cracking open Mac SE 
cases... Took me back a bit...
