It's not very often at all that I need to open it up - even with my main work station, a Mac Pro tower.

The 21.5" iMac is nuts if one wants to add memory. The iMac models with the metal door on the bottom of the display, where you unscrew three screws, take the door off, and pull a plastic tab to eject the memory? I have relatives with that model and have installed RAM in them without issue. It was a simple and fast procedure. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
