I'd probably use a toolkit and soldering iron, myself...

Buffistechnology 3: "Press Some Buttons, See What Happens."
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Violence, in the form of prying off the button and using a screwdriver to turn on the switch, worked. I think it's going to have to stay on for the remainder of its existence. It looks like a much tinier bit of soldering than I like to attempt, particularly without the use of all my fingers.
Thanks, DCJ!
You're welcome. Leaving it on shouldn't be a problem, especially if you set up energy saver functions in your OS.
I find myself needing to create an online portfolio. I started working on some stuff in iWeb and I think I can make it do what I want it to but I'll need more than one site. I've gotten recommendations for a few hosts including GoDaddy, FatCow and iPage (FatCow seems very charming). Any thoughts/recommendations?
Godaddy is a fine Domain Name Host. I'm not so sure it is a good web host.
Everyone has their favorites. I think most B.orgers use ... the name escapes me, drat it. I seem to be alone in my appreciation for GoDaddy. They're especially quick with their customer service and have great hold music. I've never had trouble with uptime, and the one time I was hacked it was my fault.
I like Dreamhost. I've never tried anybody else, but they've been stellar for me.
ETA: I have used a student's GoDaddy hosting account and I find it much harder to navigate their control panel interface.
Thanks, Rob
I've got Dreamhost and I've been pretty happy with it.
I've used Dreamhost, godaddy and ipowerweb.
I don't love godaddy, but agree with Deena about the customer service. I've had a pretty good experience on that front though the godaddy user interface is so chaotic as to be seizure inducing.
My ipowerweb account was hacked today and I'm having trouble getting that resolved.
Never had a problem with Dreamhost, so can't speak to their service.
