>I saw an ad for "MacMemory Inc." in the May MacWorld, page 25 ... Does
anyone know anything about this company?

I don't know about MacMemory's memory expansion for the Mac+, but I do know
about the company. I and 10 of my friends bought their 1.5 Meg memory
upgrades and then the 2 Meg upgrade when Apple made the new ROMs incompatible
with 1.5 Megs. I recommend the company highly. They have always treated us
with respect and trust, have made good on all their promises (when Apple
didn't make that impossible) and we have had no problems with their upgrades. I would not hesitate to do business with them again.

My only criticism of MacMemory is that they sometimes are disorganized on
pricing. It took several phone calls to find out what the price really was
on the 1.5 Meg upgrade. Their employees, many of whom seemed to be new, 
didn't seem to know. We ended up dealing with the president of the company.

You should be aware that they have several different prices for each product.
One is for dealers, one for clubs, and one is retail. The club discount is a
hefty one (about 20-25% as I recall). It is (or was anyway) available to
anyone who ordered through a club in quantity >1. Perhaps the discrepancy in
prices you noted had to do with discounts.
