They should be safe, but the ad was a misprint.

The price is $173 *PER SIMM*, not for the set of four.  I know, 'cause
I called them the day I got the MacWeek with the ad in it.  I then
berated them at length for not proofreading their advertising.

Unfortunately, the ad does include a notice that prices are subject
to change without notice, or I would have considered complaining
directly to MacWeek.

I ended up paying $175.80 for a 4MB upgrade instead.  Sigh.
