That is how you do it for the Powerbook BUT not for the iBook. Here how you do it for the iBook:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=95147. Its a old link but you get the idea, I'm sure someone will post the newer one. It has pictures and a nice walkthrough.

Powerbook: Remove Metal plate and 4 screws to easy accessible Ram slotting area

Yeah, I've not been inside one of the newer iBooks, but mine has a sticker under the keyboard showing how to install RAM and the AirPort card.

I just installed RAM on my girlfriends 12" Powerbook yesterday.  I couldn't believe how easy it was.  Remove 4 screws, insert the RAM at a 30 degree angle and push down.  No one should pay $70 for that.

Yeah...installing memory on PB is pretty easy because there is an access panel unlike iBook.

The iBook is very easy. There are two prongs on the keyboard, push them and lift up the keyboard, flip it so that you see the underside of the keyboard. Right there should be the AirPort and RAM access areas, maybe remove a screw or two, I can't remember, but it's probably one of the easiest laptops I've ever upgraded.

Download the users guide and go to page 51. http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Suppo...82iBookG4UG.pdf

Or, if you HAVE an iBook, go to page 51. :p

      No, it was THAT ugly and I’d rather forget it completely existed.

      There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.

      Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
