As one who has worked on Apple stuff before esp the Macbooks, they are very tricky to work on!!
In the Mac notebook the screws are so tiny and they had so many different types in there that a swiss watch was a cakewalk by comparison!! The data cables has less than 5mm of extra length to make the connection from one end to another and after completing the job it makes you want to work on any other types of laptops rather than this one!!
As far as Steve Jobs changing the screws from a Philips to a new security head screw I have this comment "Hey he's been screwing people around for so long now that he feels safe in doing it again"

I see your Apple notebook and raise you one early '90s IBM Thinkpad. The folks at IBM had to issue print outs to compare the slightly different screws. The IBM's had to be COMPLETELY taken apart to replace a keyboard. Worse yet, a bunch went out with bad laminate on the keys, so the letters wore off after a few weeks. The Compaqs were the worst, though, as the cable connector clamp on the motherboards were so flimsy, and the only fix for a broken one was a new motherboard!
