- Amen. I know that I was certainly pleased with avoiding the prospect of
- PAYING for a 2MB memory module for my PB 170 that I would have then had
- to SELL when I replaced it with the 6MB module I installed the day after I
- got the 170. Expecially since the market for 2MB modules is shall we say,
- less than a seller's market.
