Oh yeah! I remember back in the '80s we had an Apple IIGS. I bought
a tube of chips to install to bring the RAM up to whatever the
maximum was. I very carefully installed them, successfully I
thought. Then had periodic weird behavior from different software.
Worst was WordPerfect so I called them and they had me go through a
series of tests. When I was finished they suggested I had a memory
problem. Since I just couldn't solve it I took the CPU to a shop and
after a zillion dollars worth of testing they discovered I had bent
one of the pins on one of the chips.
So anyway, I try to be especially careful when plugging things into a
board whether it's on a Powerbook, desktop, tower, or... now...
Compact Mac.
Aloha,

p.s. May be worth mentioning that there didn't seem to be any static
charge left in the CRT after sitting unplugged for a week or two.
