Yeah, somewhere along the line, I came out short on those screws (I think
because I bought some modules second-hand), so I bought some functional
replacements at the hardware store, but they're
silver/steel/chrome/whatever, not black. It just doesn't look right!
Thanks for posting the info, Paul (S.), I guess I'll be ordering some of
the nice custom black screws with my next module order (once I recover from
the IRS's hit! arrrrgh!) ...
