Bjorn,
~    Other World Computing (<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.macsales.com";>http://www.macsales.com</a>) offers the exact
same (Samsung) memory that Apple sells, but for far less.  I use them
for my PowerBook memory, particularly machines still under AppleCare.
~    Nice meeting you at the group tonight; always a treat to meet
another Debian/Mac/Java guy.

Regards,
