  This is NOT necessarily true during a period, like the present, when
RAM prices are changing (falling at the moment).  The lead time for an
advertisement in a monthly like C.S. is significant compared to weekly 
magazines such as PC Week or INFOWORLD.  Most advertisers (after the 1987 
price changes) don't commit to advertised prices ("prices subject to 
change").  You are more likely to get a current price in a weekly.  Even 
with an advertisement in a weekly, it is best to call to confirm the prices.
