- The man is a totally Spamless liar. 2MB SIMMs have been available for some
- time now and cost about $55 each. Or you can look in any back issues of
- MacWorld, MacWeek, MacUser, etc. for ads for mail-order houses. They usually
- have them and they can get it to you by overnight delivery.
-
- Personally, my recommendation is to skip the 2MB SIMMs and go for 4MB SIMMs.
- The Chip Merchant has them for $86 each, according to their latest ad. Sorry,
- I don't have the phone number available.
