I've been thinking: What a tremendous mistake apple has made by not
unloading its DRAM stockpile on the open market last year at firesale
prices ($150/1Mb).

They could have written off the huge loss, and then started putting these
$69 DRAMS into production macintoshes, at incredible savings.

Does anyone know if Apple liquidated its DRAM stockpiles?  Or are Mac
buyers still paying for that overpurchasing mistake?
