If you've been holding out on buying memory for your Mac until the
price of SIMMs bottomed out, now may be the time to buy (actually,
last week was probably the time :-).  Prices of 1-MB SIMMs, which
reached a low of about $61 in recent weeks, have started to creep up.
The lowest price I could find yesterday (2/13) was $66 for 100ns parts
(Peripheral Outlet).  Supposedly the Japanese manufacturers of 1-Mbit
DRAMs have cut production in order to increase prices.  Apparently the
shortage is starting to be felt by SIMM manufacturers...
