Weird. I don't mind it with screws and stuff as generally they need to cross 
borders less - it's a pain in the butt having to tweak anything that might 
need to be printed for different markets, though.

I noticed the other day that Home Depot sells hex screws - I almost stocked up 
(rivets/nails are just a complete nightmare)! I don't mind Phillips if I know 
the job and so know I'm not going to be putting too much torque on things.
