     When I bought my hard disk (Mirror) 1-1/2 months ago, it came with a 
flyer advertising their SIMMS.  They had this theory that with System 7 
coming out, everyone would want to buy memory, so the prices would go up.  
Their suggestion - buy now, avoid the rush!  (Surprise, surprise...)  I 
don't know how accurate this theory is, but it seems that simple economics 
dictates that if more people want them, the price will go up.
