Anne, You can install the memory yourself... Here is some more help and it is directly from apple. Apple has a section on there support web page all about Customer-Installable Parts. Here is the link for the page all you need to do is pick your computer and then you have a choice usually to watch a Quicktime movie showing you all the steps and precautions that you need to take to install something. There is also a downloadable PDF that you can print out which shows you the steps too. Here is the link http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/index.html Good Luck, Dan Brieck Jr. On Saturday, March 22, 2003, at 08:56 AM, Anne Keller-Smith wrote: > Hi all, > > Would you all recommend I do my own installation > of RAM on my Graphite iBook?
