	Nope.  Grobbins wrote me first, before posting his message.  I then 
called PO.  Here is an excerpt of my return message to Grobbins, which 
prompted his posting:

-----
	This concerned me.  So, I called.  The lady I talked to (didn't 
get a name) told me that first, the price was only for 100ns SIMMS; 
second, they were out of these; third, the ad was being discontinued 
because of this; last, they just got them in today (Wed.), and because 
of "the chip shortage", the price is now $64 for 100ns SIMMS.  When I 
called on Monday, they didn't say anything about 100ns SIMMS, because 
they were out.
-----

	So, basically, the price on 100ns SIMMS had been bumped up to $64.  
He then wrote me back, telling me that the ad in MacWeek clearly stated 
that the $61 price was for all speeds.  Call me overeager, but I didn't 
want to bother with waiting for a resolution to this, so I took the 80ns 
SIMMS for $66, and didn't complain.
