My fears and trepidations have been realized.

I finally got around to trying to install the memory I bought.
No go.
The first card seems like it's in almost ok,
but will not go far enough down to be latched.
The notches seem correct.
I cannot even replace the memory I removed.  Grrr.
The net result seem to be that I destroyed my computer.

Any thoughts on how to undestroy my computer?

There might be dirt plugging up the slot.  Try vacuuming the slot out
(carefully) and see if it fits after that.

The process gave me a better look at the mechanics of latching.
Apparently the latches are supposed to
activate as one pushes the cards down.
Pushing in the middle did not give me enough
leverage to activate stiff latches.
Once I realized that, pushing on the ends did the trick

It boots and notices 8GB.
