- Well, I seem to spend SO much of my spare time modifying people's A500's I
- thought I might as well make a small business out of it. None of these mods are
- in any way experimental; they've been tried and tested and are safe and
- reliable. The memory mods are rather more difficult to perform on rev.5 and
- earlier machines, but to keep things simple I'm only charging one fee for all
- motherboard revisions.
