	I don't mean to put a damper on your entheusiasm in looking for a
good deal, but Chip Merchant has been advertising a $79 price for the SIMMs
you describe, Quantity 1, for the past few weeks in MacWeek.  We ordered 8
Meg a little while ago (paid a bit of a preminum because we issued a
Purchase Order and had them bill us after shipment but still got a good
deal).  One set of 4 was DOA (we didn't bother to isolate which of the 4 it
was) but they replaced it without any trouble.

	It seems that for a Q200 order, you should be able to do better
than $79 and certainly better than $83.
