Speaking of shenigans, it appears that most if not all computer companies
stoop to such standards.  Years ago I purchased a 16k pet with the idea
of upgrading it to a 32k.  Upon opening it up I discovered that the board
had been drilled through with 3/8" holes to destroy that area of the mother
board where the extra memory chips would go.  Nice huh?  
By the way, and I hope Commordore is listening, I was able to upgrade not
only mine but other peoples as well.
