When they do this, then they are buying the 100ns SIMMs in sufficient quantities that they are not outrageously expensive for the new machine... Also, I believe that the memory upgrade kits that you can buy from Apple (if you want to pay that much) are also 100ns SIMMs. Can you say stockpile :-> -Michael -- Michael Niehaus UUCP: !{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!mithomas Apple Student Rep ARPA: mithomas@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Ball State University AppleLink: ST0374 (from UUCP: st0374@applelink.apple.com)
