AmesMUG: Official way to install RAM in Mac Mini?

[John Rearick]

I don't believe there is an official way to open the case.  Usually,  
RAM installation does not void warranty, however, if you want to get  
it serviced, I suggest taking out the third party RAM as Apple likes  
to blame third party RAM when doing repairs.  Otherwise, it's fair  
game unless a tech on the list can say otherwise.
