Chill dude.  One cannot really just "open up" a 500 to add some memory anyway,
and I thought one of the two versions came with 1meg installed regardless?

Anyway, this does not apply to the "card carrying" A2000's and A3000's, and as
you have your machine already I really wouldn't be all too concerned.

If your dealer is a jerk, I would suggest talking to Cmdre about it.  Don't
know how far you will get, but I don't think anyone should put up with that
kind of treatment.
