Among other Apple laptops I have performed surgery on, I have swapped out the hard drive on a white iMac G3. Talk about an integrated system not designed for user upgrade! But iFixIt is a godsend, and the procedure can be done even by a semi-klutz like me. The most nervous I have ever been doing such upgrades was in upgrading my Mac+ from 1 to 4mb of RAM. The upgrade required cutting two wires that served as jumpers on the circuit board, and I rechecked the directions 10-15 times before I made the cuts!
