Now that is absurd pricing. Data Memory Systems will
sell you a 30 pin
16 meg simm for $29, not that absurd $160 you mention. 4 meg are $10.
Ouch! A lot of
messages to go through... I should check me mail more often.
Yes, I've noticed that MacWarehouse has some absolutley HORRIBLE prices,
both for hardware and software... I haven't seen 16MB SIMMs going for $30,
but another catalog I have around here that I haven't been able to find yet
has them four around $40... Too bad my Mac IIvx is destroyed(stupid leaking
water pipes...), or I would have a VERY nice machine... I just have a hard
time when looking at a machine with 68MB RAM(max for the IIvx) and an 80MB
hard drive(no reason not to upgrade to one of those $100 4GB drives
though...). Or if you like a nice fast hard drive(say in the 60-80ns
range), go to a 40MB RAM drive :-)
Hmm... How old is the IIvx, anyways? It should be approaching the 10 year
mark any year now :-) Those poor little 68030's... The computer industry
can be so cruel...
