I think all you guys talk about models is nuts. Now-a-days, and this is
what the person seemed to be talking about, Apple has made it extremely easy
to change ram, going so far as to premote it in there ads for say the new
Mac mini and even printing directions somewhere on the case of most if not
all newer Macs. The person asked about how hard it was to change RAM on a
mac and was considdering switching to a Mac. This implied to me getting a
newer Mac. They didn't seem to want to know about older macs or how it was
hard to change RAM on an older Mac. Further more they stated that they had
done this on machines before. It is my experience that if you can change
RAM on any other box then you can certainlyb do it on the mac. By the way,
I am running an Imac built in 2008 with the directions for changing RAM
clearly printed on the back of it with 1 screw to remove to access the RAM.

Oh, and on the ppc imacs, there's a whole lot mor than just 1 screw to
remove. Of course, the later models are better about this.
Really though, folks, if you have newer models of macs, and you like
tinkering, then by all means, do your upgrades if you feel comfortable with
it, but older models, unless you're a seasoned pro, I suggest you leave it
for others, some of those machines are a serious pain.
I've upgraded ppc imacs, intel (first generation) intel minis, macbooks, and
even g4 ppc powerbooks, and they're all different, and it varies from model
to model as to what needs done to get at the parts you want to upgrade, so
don't think that it's all for one and one for all once you've done one
upgrade, the next one may not be quite that simple.
