OT

If anyone knows how to take out a wood screw with half a head missing, I'm all ears.

Try and grab it with pliers or needle nose pliers and unscrew it.
If that doesn't work drill a small hole smaller than the screw and try to grab it with needle nose pliers.

ðð> With strength at WinStar, indicating wireless broadband is growing faster than expected, logic says we should do well tomorrow.

We should expect growth in the Access group.
Wireless access seems very popular at NN.

We should also expect the buyout of an affiliate, Ironbridge.

Just my 2 cents...

Vice-Grips will lock onto the screw head to help you pull or turn out.

O.T. - To remove an embedded screw with a broken or damaged head drill a hole in the screw and use a device called an "easy out" which should be available at any good hardware store. It is a small tapered screw with a left hand thread and is specifically designed for this purpose. All homeowners should have a set of three in different sizes.
