Hi,

I need some advice. I just got myself an SE/30 w/ 1Meg and I have
4Megs what I bought separately. I understand that the warranty is
voided if I install the memory myself. A dealer would probably charge
$40-$50 for a job even I could do in 10 minutes. So the question is
which of the following strategies is the best:

1. Playing it same and have a dealer install the memory.  

2. Taking the risk of installing it myself on the assumption that it's
unlikely that there will be anything wrong with the machine in the
near future. (1 year.)

3. Using it with 1Meg for a while (which is a pain) and then if
everything is OK, then install it myself.

The question is whether 

  	E[the price one pays for a breakdown in one year]<$40,

where E stands for expectation.

All opinions are appreciated. Please send email.
