The 8500 is possibly the very worst case Apple ever made for accessibility, though the 8100 might be worse or about the same. One must remove the motherboard of the 8100 in order to add or remove RAM, though some acrobats claim they can modify the RAM configuration without removing the motherboard. The 8600 case is a much better case for accessibility. Jeff Walther -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
