Apparently, Apple warranty is voided if a memory upgrade is not done by
Apple-authorised service joint.  I came upon this gem of extortion
yesterday in the manual for IIcx (actually, my wife did, I don't need
to read no stinkin' manuals ...)

Does anybody know if this clause still holds or was it scrapped
together with the 90-day warranty period?

Why would Apple want such a clause anyway? It is clearly not
enforceable - anybody who can plug in a couple of memory boards can
just as well take them out if some serious problem requires warranty
service ...
