Hello all, I have a Mac plus and I just received my extra RAM in the
mail, if I open up the case can I seriously hurt myself?
Noah,
The Plus didn't have a self-discharging CRT, so yes, you could hurt
yourself.
This site tells how to make a discharge tool that works for any compact
Mac:

Do that and listen for the loud "pop," which tells you it was
discharged. If it didn't pop, either you didn't do it right or it has
been unplugged for so long that it naturally discharged. If you want
to be sure, plug it back in (put the back clover on again if you're
really worried) for a moment and power it on and back off. Then try
discharging again.
