My appliance manufactures and dealers will perform upgrades and =
maintainence on my appliances too if I wish. I've never needed any. I = would
say my appliances were successful. Your's was not.
If you don't want your failures at tinkering to be perceived as such =
you should stop describing them as such.

The Apple store wanted to do the upgrade for me when I bought it. I
could have left the unit there that evening and picked it up the next
morning. There was no charge for the install. I told them that I
wanted to bring the unit home, read the manuals and start playing with
it for a few days, and that I could bring it back the next weekend =
when
it was more convenient to be without the system for a half day. The
sales dude said, ~that's fine, enjoy the MacMini, and don't be afraid =
to
stop by if there are any problems.~
There was no need for me to do the upgrade myself, nor would there be
any need for someone who bought the MacMini to sit in their
entertainment center to take the unit apart to install memory. The
MacMini is a successful appliance design. A very successful appliance
design. I'm sorry if that bothers you. Really I am.
Regarding the rest of your message, your message seemed to have sunk
into the usual ad hominem gutter-level attacks rather quickly this =
time.
Once again, I'll choose not to join you there.
