(except for next, of course) They should be usable in Macs just fine. Don't know about PCs, but that's such a wide open market, anyhow. Also, you need not throw out all of them. You can get 4 4M simms and replace four of the 1 M ones, for a grand total of 20M. I plan to do that, and try to sell the 1M to various Mac users about our campus (heck, $160-$200 wouldn't be that bad). -- scott hess scott@gac.edu Independent NeXT Developer (Stuart) GAC Undergrad (Horrid.
