Well, I needed more memory so I came up with the following list after
getting some phone numbers from a current _MacWeek_: 

=============================================================================
Memory type is 4MB (no-parity!), 80ns, "vertically-mounted low-profile" SIMM 
Date: 14-Mar-91

=============================================================================
Chip Merchant       |   426-6375  |  165  |  10.87   |   COD only  | Five yr 
--------------------+-------------+-------+----------+-------------+---------

--------------------+-------------+-------+----------+-------------+---------
Memory Plus         |   388-7587  |  190  |   ????   |    ????     |    ?  
--------------------+-------------+-------+----------+-------------+---------

Before I buy from Chip Merchant, can someone please send me any information,
good or bad, about any of the places listed above.  I will probably order
late next week.  What would be neat is if someone (who did the "leg-work")
could post a list like this every so often so that the NeXT community knows
what the going rate is for the 4MB SIMMs or even those paltry and obsolete ;)
1MB SIMMs.

Of course, the usual disclaimers apply - I don't have any affiliations
with the above companies, etc.  I just want the best price I can get and
spread some helpful information around.
