How is it difficult to upgrade in a Mac? Infact, in most Macs, its even easier than in a PC:
iMac Core Duo - the easiest yet - remove a door a slide it in
iBook G4 - Very easy, lift keyboard, unscrew guard, and there you are
PowerBook/MBP - Very easy, remove battery, unscrew memory door, there you are
PowerMac - Easy, Latch open side door, remove plastic guard, slide out processor, there you are
Mac Mini G4 - Very easy, putty knife open, there you are
Mac Mini Intel - OK, looking at internal pics, this one does actually look relativly involved.

Apologies, I assumed that all the PBs would be the same, but I was obviously wrong..

There are 2, one of which comes occupied with a stick of RAM (either 512 or 1GB, depending on which model you buy), and if you don't upgrade to any more ram, you have 1 slot left

I just upgraded my memory on my original Aluminum 500 with 512 (decided to wait a couple years for an new laptop). Took about 5 minutes - happened to have a small jeweler's Phillips head. The screws are small, but much larger than on eyeglasses. Pretty darn easy! Lots better than finding the really small Torx tool for the Titaniums.
