We ended up with a production line with a handmade pin bending jig and inserter. Not only were they hell to populate, but when the DRAM prices went through the roof, we were only selling a few at ~$300 a pop. I can't tell you how glad I was when those new-fangled SIMM-thingies came out. Now we just have to worry about busting the cheap plastic retainers on some of the older sockets. I hate it when I have to trash a mobo for a busted SIMM socket.
