James, I know you requested responses to be sent directly to you, but I
kept getting rubber mail no matter what address I tried.  Sorry.

1)  Probably not.  In my opinion, it would depend on how reputable
    the company is (i.e., how long they've been in business).
2)  I think so.  I knew a guy in Garden Grove, CA, who said he had
    one meg of RAM under OS-9, but he built it himself.  I guess it took
    the third-party companies awhile to figure it out.
3)  Absolutely not.  It's my belief that for every person that asks a
    "silly" question, there are a hundred people who wanted to know the
    answer to the same silly question but were afraid to ask.  :-)

In any case, since I recently upgraded to 512K (with a $150 Shack upgrade),
I'd be interested to know how your upgrade turns out and how much you had
to pay for it.
