Use two pair, and grasp the corners of the SO-DIMM. If you want to be mildly insane, and have a trustworthy assistant, hold it upside down in the air, grasp the SO-DIMMS and let the weight of the computer dislodge it. Your assistant should catch the computer; and this is less likely to twist the socket or SO-DIMM in the process. (basically remove the iMac from the so-dimm, rather than the other way 'round.) Don't laugh, I once removed a 3" CD from the slot loader by holding one sideways and shaking it....got enough of the disc to stick out that I could grab it with forceps. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
