First Post!

While I expect to write about economics, sports, and teaching mathematics, my first post has to do with neither...I spent much of my afternoon attempting to fix my iPhone 3GS.  The toggle switch for volume/silent was not working, so, with the help of http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-iPhone-3G-Vibrate-Ring-Switch/581/1 I took the phone apart.  That was the easy part.  Once I realized that I have a defective part (unfortunately nothing was simply disconnected), I began the two hour process of trying to use my wife's tweezers to replace infinitesimally small screws.  Classic 10 minutes to take apart, 2 hours to put back together.  I heard that the iPhone 4 and the like are put together with "screws" that need a custom screwdriver; so no do it yourselfers.  BushLeagueBut in the end, my phone works and I'm happy waiting for the iPhone5...
