Chris Cooley | husc6! -\ ditto..At the University Computer Store at Vanderbilt University, the wait for 4M SIMM kits is six months and counting, but the A/UX development system with 4M installed is in stock in quantity.

One really can't blame Apple for giving higher priority to moving A/UX than upgrading existing machines.
