I would have agreed with you about the earliest iMacs. I remember having to
bring my 300Mhz iMac to the local Mac technician in order to add extra memory
-- just didn't want to perform a labotomy in order to put in an extra SIM. My
500Mhz iMac has a one-screw entry for upgrading the RAM, plus easy access to
my Airport card. The iMacs were not designed for anything more than casual
upgrades.
