Each time I removed the upgrade, the Mac would run fine. When I put the upgrade back it would die. After checking the "trouble shooting" supplement out for the third time, I decided I wasn't applying sufficient force to seat the cards properly (although I was already applying much more force than I would even in positive-insertion-force situations. I tried a fourth time, applying a great deal of force (so much that I was concerned about breaking the connector). It worked, and has been running fine for the past two weeks. As an aside: I got the memory in order to be able to run Word and Excel together under Switcher. Unfortunately, I have also come to rely on Memorandum (a great DA). Memorandum becomes severely confused by the Swticher environment: It goes through its launch sequence each time you "switch" and loses track of its Notes file (and won't even let you re-select the proper Notes file because its already open).
