I was wondering if the simms used are compatible with other manufacturers at all. e.g. if I upgrade the memory at some later date do I simply end up throwing away 8 megabytes of memory because no one can use them? (except for next, of course) -castor fu castor@fizzle.stanford.edu

(except for next, of course) They should be usable in Macs just fine. Don't know about PCs, but that's such a wide open market, anyhow. Also, you need not throw out all of them. You can get 4 4M simms and replace four of the 1 M ones, for a grand total of 20M. I plan to do that, and try to sell the 1M to various Mac users about our campus (heck, $160-$200 wouldn't be that bad).
