I toodled off to the delivery office and collected my RAM. (Still no card, but I had the tracking number. Strangely, the packet was marked "07:39 - no answer" which makes no sense; we were home then. hmm. Can't remember exactly what time I went out to the delivery office yesterday about that other parcel... Neil was in, though, and I know he wasn't in the shower yet.)
Luckily, I'd read the install instructions last night. Opening the memory bay requires a Philips 00 screwdriver, which we don't (didn't) possess. I had to go buy one. Well, you can't just buy it, you have to buy a precision kit. Which I have, but it only has Philips sizes 0 and 1. I had to search to find a kit that had the 00. (It's as teeny as that sounds.)
The install itself was easy as pie. I've stuck RAM into desktop machines, but never a laptop, and when I first thought of upgrading my RAM, I discounted it because I thought I'd need a tech to open it up and do it. I was pleased to discover that RAM is user-upgradeable. Just take out the battery, open up the bay (3 screws) and pop it in.
