Their price has risen > to $49 plus shipping. > Steve Goldfield Steve, I just purchased 4 1M (US-made) 120ns SIMMs from Aurora Industries (for my MacII) for $36/MB. (I believe their prices have risen to $38/MB.) There is *no* surcharge for using Visa/MC, and UPS blue and red label shipping is only moderately more expensive (e.g., I *believe* blue label shipping was, for me, only $5.25). One drawback (which IMHO isn't really a drawback) is they only offer a 5 year warranty on their memory products (but remember the warranty is only as good as the company offering it (i.e., the lifetime warranty offered by most is merely a sales gimmick)). I purchased my memory with AT&T Visa gold - so my warranty is actually 6 years (5 from Aurora and 1 from Visa)! Give 'em a call at 1-800-426-1591 and ask for Bob Newman (tell him I sent you). I think you'll like them! DISCLAIMER: I have *no* affiliation with Aurora Industries other than as a satisfied customer. -jwh -- John Hardin MCC CAD Program AT&T: 512/338-3535 3500 W.
