as you guys can tell by the pic of me in the gallery, im not the skiniest guy. as a consequence my hands are also on the "chubby" side. well, the s-video cable that goes from my computer to my tv just fell into 3 pieces, the wire and pins, the little black thing with a bunch of holes, and the metal casing type part. can i just tell you that i spent about 20 minutes trying to get the darn thing back together. i had no clue which way it lined up, and the pins were so small that my fingers had a hard time adjusting them. i even broke a stylus... (dont ask, but now i am down to 1 for my pocket pc....).

am i the only one that finds that all these electronics are too small? when i take things apart i cant put them back together anymore....

Being Chubby (and or Pleasntly PlumP) is the roxor!

small(ish) hands do come in handy for some comp work...like what u explained...sometimes, such as for IDE or Power leds you have to change the pins on those connectors you are referring to...I have seen guys with huge hands and I wonder how theyd ever do some of the small comp stuff.

Dude, don't feel bad. I'm not skinny mysself, and I have hands big enough to pick up a basketball with one bare hand from the ground like if it was a smaller ball.

Getting around computer cases can be difficult, but you can always be careful, take your time and not be in a hurry.

Yeah I'm the same way,I can plam a basketball and wear a size 17 wedding ring.really tough typing for me.I prefer the full tower cases for the same reason,easier to work on.

I hate to work on small tedious things like wires,cables,eyeglasses,just drives me crazy.But in the world today,micro is in.

you should see me try to take my TT volcano 9 coolmod hsf off of my processor in my raidmax case. there is barely room to get a screwdriver in there... yet i keep wanting to buy a shuttle type system....
