- Import them from the US. They are much cheaper there.
- When I bought mine they were $25 + tax, which came to $30 a chip. They are
- now down to $22 + tax. About twice what you could get them for in the US, if
- you look around. I've seen $14 a chip advertised.
- I hope any new machine from C= will use simms. They are only $45 each here,
- heaps cheaper than zips.
