My kludge was on a Mac SE 30 I had been given for free, it was my first mac
in the collection. It wouldn't boot, took it apart, problem was obvious,
last stick of RAM wasn't snapped in because one side of the little plastic
clips was broken off. Wanting to see if it worked, I took a Q-tip, snapped
both heads of so it was just long enough to hold the stick upright against
the back of the MB chassis.
This was performed in 1996, it still runs today like that :)
