I once bought RAM for a PC from a store that insisted

I recall buying PC RAM in the early days of 30 pin SIMMs... the store I got it
from insisted on writing down all the numbers both of
the SIMM PCB and *every
single chip* (eight ICs on each, and I bought eight SIMMs).
I assume that they
were worried that someone would claim the RAM was faulty and return them a
completely different module under warranty.
I still have the copy that they gave me, I think. Their notes contained an
awful lot of repetition ;-)
