Good afternoon,

We have for sale a quantity of 2,000 8mb SIMMS.

You can buy these in any quantity and they are priced at
£0.10p each.

(Do you remember the days when 8mb would have cost over £60?)

Please let me know if you have any interest.

Kind regards

I remember buying 100 x 4MB 30-pin SIMMS for my computer co. in 1993 or
1994. They cost £112 plus VAT **EACH** from Datrontech.

Wow, wouldn't it be fandabidozi if we could get
that for it now?

We could all be driving around in Jags. ;D

... used to charge £300 for an upgrade from 640kb to 1MB on the old
Tulip ATs. (Configuring the extra 384kb as extended memory used to make
the machines fly!)

We then found out that the identical memory from other sources was
around £50 but it "invalidated the warranties" on the Tulip computers
unless it were purchased directly from Tulip.

Bastards - just let a company try that these days....
