I now have 2 megs in my Mac II, as 8 256K simms. I would like to sell these in two groups of 4. These are fast simms that will work on a normal Mac II, and are from Apple. I would like $329 for each pair of 4 simms. Let's see here: you buy four 1Mb SIMMs at $199 each and sell 8 256K SIMMS for $658, a total expense of $138 to upgrade your Mac II from 2 Mb to 4 Mb. Who exactly are you expecting to buy these 256K SIMMs at such grossly inflated prices? -------------------- Garth Snyder UUCP: {bpa,liberty}!swatsun!garth Swarthmore College ARPA/CSNET: garth@cs.swarthmore.edu Swarthmore, PA 19081 ALSO: garth@boulder.colorado.edu --------------------
