OK, OK, I repent!!  I have *secretly* been running my Cube at home since last
June with only 8 MB of RAM.  I can no longer sleep because of guilt caused by
thinking of my poor 330 MB Maxtor thrashing itself to death :-)

Someone please help me!!  Sell me those old, lo-tech (but not defective), 1 MB
SIMM's that you removed from your NeXT so you could install those nifty, new,
hi-tech 4 MB SIMM's.  I will buy either 4 or 8, but I don't really place any
value on a SIMM being a *genuine* OEM NeXT part; i.e., I won't pay more for
your used SIMM's than the cost of new 3rd-party SIMM's with a guarantee.

So send my email with what you want to sell for what price.  I am the
aftermarket for your 1 MB SIMM's that -=EPS=- referred to, but only for that
seller who acts quickly and reasonably!
