True, but they could be called Mac SIMMS, after all, they're SIMMS and they're
used in a Mac. I think the parity thing is pretty stupid too. It is useful
in some situations, but people shouldn't be forced to pay extra money if the
extra RAM is just for parity. Having parity memory as an option would be nice
though. Doesn't the NextStation or something have something like that? Or
was it the Mac IIfx. Well, one of the workstation types (or supposedly
workstation type in the fx's case :-) is supposed to have parity memory as
an option.

Oh, in that case, "True, but they could be called Mac SIMMs, after all, their
SIMMS and there used in a Mac." :-) Just kidding!!!!
