You put the memory in yourself. If the machine breaks, you take the memory back out, and take the mac to the dealer, who will be none the wiser. The only way the dealer will know the difference is if you break something while you're in the machine. In that case, you obviously deserve to pay. Otherwise, it's patently ridiculous that Apple should refuse to replace (for example) the disk drive, because you happened to open the case and install some SIMMS. Installing SIMMS is very easy. Be moderately careful, and you will have no problems. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner
