Hello again,

	Unfortunatly the quality of the $65 SIMMs are not up to par with the
relativly inexpensive boards from Technology Works. For $65 we get 90 days
of warrenty, and a very cheap imitation of the real thing, no installation
kits, no individual mailing/payment and we would have to purchase at least 
200 of these things. I did manage to negotiate an $83 price from Technology
works for anyone who mentions that they are purchasing for me (say "I'm
purchasing for Dan Port and your price is $83"). The Chip Merchant is 
steadfast at $79, but they have a variable source (and thus questionable
source) of chips. In fact last I talked to them they were out of stock on
our particular SIMM. I know nothing about their service, warrenty, etc. My
final recomendation is that each of you order individually from either:



Technology Works
4030 Braker Ln. West
Suit 350
Austin, TX  78759

voice: 512-794-8533
       800-426-6375
FAX:   512-794-8520

(be sure to mention that you're ordering as per Dan Port to get the $83 price.)


OR

The Chip Merchant
800-426-6375
619-268-4774
FAX: 619-268-0874





P.S. My apologies to any of you who have already recieved this information.
