But I've been thinking about all the nifty things that you can do with 256K SIMMs, now that their about to die off. (i.e. 1 meg, 4 meg, 16 meg, & x meg SIMMs) So everyone send me your 256K SIMM ideas!!! Here's what I've got so far: Usefull holes in the end, can be used as ear/nose rings! Put in a hook and hang them on your x-mas tree! Novelty High-Tech oatmeal stirrers! Swizzle sticks! Giant tie clip! Thousands can be collected to make an interesting tile floor! Can be used to scrap the mud (or whatever) off you shoes! Don't forget tongue depresser! Upgrade the memory of your Mac SE/30 or better. (yeah, get real) Can be put end to end to figure out how many SIMMs it takes to reach the moon! Come'on folks, there's gotta be more!
