I have no personal experience with their SIMMs, so I will refrain from
commenting here.

Since we are passing on opinions, I thought the net would like another :-).
We (my agency) have done a fair amount of business w/ MacProducts, and have
had no problems with them.  In fact, they have made getting into the 
Macintosh game a lot easier the last 2 years.  As you well know, there are
going to be horror stories relating to experiences with just about any
retailer, some more than others.  What I want to point out is that MacProducts
has not proven to be either a low-quality or ship-shod operation for us,
and that covering several years of business with them.

Disclaimer:  I get no money or favors from MacProducts (or just about
             anyone else, for that matter.)  Just a satisified customer
             from their home turf.
