Looking at the law is one thing.  But let's look at Apple's policy.  Apple
manuals for my machines give very detailed and specific instructions for
installing extra RAM.  This does not threaten Apple's warranty on what Apple
put into the machine.  OK fine, Apple would not warranty that third part
RAM, but the RAM vendor does.

Also, there as a time a few years ago when Apple itself would not sell the
higher capacity RAM sticks to max out the machines they were selling from
their on-line store.  That begged customers to seek out the high capacity,
third party RAM on their own.  Of course, the customers take the risk that
future Apple OSs will not agree with the 3rd party stuff.
