Sharon,

It is really easy to install the laptop memory. For those who know how to do it (or feel comfortable doing it), it's just a piece of cake. I needed to upgrade my Thinkpad a while ago and got the right Kingston memory on sale in Circuitcity. My Thinkpad was in the shop for some warranty work so I just took my Kingston to the service center. I asked the technician if that's the right one and how difficult to put it in. He simply told me: "I can do it for you for free." With a big smile, I handed him the memory and he installed it in 10 seconds! After watching him, I believe I can do it myself next time.

So if you have a confident neighbor, it shouldn't be a problem. Or just find another Computer Science/ EE college student who knows about computer. Good work with cheap (or free) labor, you know.
