I am considering getting a Portable but (understandably) am distressed by the
high price of SIMMs for it.  Is it possible to use the cheap DRAM SIMMs or am I
stuck with the expensive static ones?  I don't care if using the DRAMS means a
drastically reduced battery life, I am not planning on using it anywhere where I
can't find a wall plug.

While I am on the subject of SIMMs for the Portable, does anyone know of a
third party source for them?  Given a choice, I'd prefer to upgrade to 4 or 5
Megs of RAM instead of the inadequate 2MB Apple is offering.

Thanks
JB

P.S.  I am (obviously) not a hardware person, so please don't send me Email
telling me what a moron I am for asking this question.
