i added more memory to my computer just ten minutes ago. it was the first time i'd opened the sony desktop i bought a number of years ago. the tips of my fingers are sore from trying to pry the case open (little did i realize there was a hidden latch i needed to find). i only had to turn the computer on once to help get the memory installed. my first attempt was unsuccessful due to the odd placement of the the memory components - if i had 8 inch long fingers that could bend in totally freaky ways, i would've been better off. by logging onto the internet for help, i learned that moving the floppy drive was a cinch. doing so allowed me to access the dimm slots with easy. i'm pretty proud of myself. the whole process only took 75 minutes with much of that time occupied by my tossing the computer chair onto my bed and trying to remove all the accumulated dust from the computer desk and computer itself.
