Machines that use 72 pin simms are obsolete.
Only because you and Microsoft say so.
Couple months ago I bought 10 lbs of 72 pin simms,
nothing bigger than 8
MB, 99% 4 MB, and those are likely the last I will EVER buy. The low price
of new memory vs the still very high price of older memory has really
killed my interest in memory upgrades for the old hardware. 64 MB DIMMs for
my Starmax are $150 each, and for $300 I can buy 512 MB of PC133 ram, a
nice motherboard, and a Tbird cpu that will clock easily over 1 Ghz. Same
goes for SCSI drives, except the weird old workstation stuff I pick up
cheap.
Got to love capitalism.
Of course I will continue to use a lot of my old
hardware, but the OS etc.
has got to live with a memory diet. Fortunately a lot of it is very happy
with a 4 mb simm in each slot.
If only more software were that.

Eccovi una delle sigle francesi dedicate a questo shojo... come, non e' uno
shojo? Andate a spiegarlo ai francesi... questa e' una canzone da shojo,
quindi per me Goldrake e' uno shojo :p
