While sad, this is sort of funny.  It confirms my thinking tho, a hard drive screw is not a hard drive screw unless it says Dell, Gateway, WD, Seagate, Toshiba etc etc etc on it.  This means I may have to buy one of those divider thingys that is larger just for me to be able to keep the hard drive screws separate, since they are different.
