Google sez - Ripen an avocado in the microwave: Slice it in half, pit
it, then wrap each half tightly in plastic wrap. Microwave in 30-second
intervals until the fruit is soft enough to use. To halt the cooking
process, dunk the microwaved avocados in a bowl of ice water.

I saw a friend do this to make guacamole - sans the ice water - and it
worked. I store hard avocados in a brown paper bag with a banana
overnight...LOL, no tellin' what goes on in there, but the avocado will
go soft.
