	Several people have asked for the phone numbers.  Oops, sorry.  I 
forgot to include them:  Technology Works: (800)622-6210; Peripheral 
Outlet: (800)332-6581.

	Well, I've been corrected.  TW's "installation kit" consists of a 
Torx wrench.  No anti-static pad, no case cracker.  In fairness to TW, 
though, they didn't specifically tell me that it came with a kit - I said 
that from memory.  My memory was bad (maybe someone sells chips for that 
too!)

	Now a question for those who have yet to upgrade their memory - is 
anyone interested in hearing about my trials and tribulations of doing it?  
If so, let me know, and I'll post it (after I get the chips, of course...)
