No, I believe we've actually dropped the price on the 2MB upgrade which uses
1MB SIMMs (of course, I had to read about it in MacWeek :)).  Our 1MB
upgrade based on 256K SIMMs was never that expensive.  I don't have an
official price list in front of me, so I can't give absolute confirmation
of this.
