 The prices of 48SX, the 32K RAM card and the 128K RAM card
 form Educalc are (approximately):
	48SX -->  $270
	 32K -->  $80
	128K -->  $190
 Now, we get the 48 with 32K of (S)RAM for 1.0*(48's price) :-))
                The 128K card costs        0.7*(48's price) :-((((
   Assume (?) the 32K built-in in 48 costs 0.1*(48's price) = $27 ??

 So, does this mean just packaging the 32K in the card costs over 50
 bucks ? In any case (as some one else on the net also pointed it
 out), 190 bucks, I mean 0.7*(48's price) for the 128K is NOT
 justifiable, EVEN if it IS STATIC RAM and has some tiny circuit 
 modifications or whatever (I/O buffers, etc., NOT the entire RAM !)

 Anyone @HP ? Please correct me ...
