You did indeed. I think you should be publicly whipped
for conspicuous consumption of the very worst kind. Have
you no sense of common decency and decorum whatever ?

You didnt say exactly what you bought SIMM type wise.

Currently I am still getting all the new hardware together and
chose to minimise the ram purchase, incase it was gunna drop some
more still. Hard to imagine that it can drop much more tho, OTOH
that may not be so true of say 32MB 72pin 60ns EDO SIMMs. Many modern
motherboards aint exactly stuffed with SIMM slots, 4 is typical.

PE> I asked him about the HD prices, and he said that when I got it for $445
PE> he thinks it was a promotion that was on.  Now $480 I think he said.

Figures, which may mean that the TechSearch $440 is
temporary till they get those they got in that lot sold.

PE> After I put the new RAM in (here we go again) OS/2 started to print

"Shutdown"

PE> Jeeze OS/2 is a heap of shit.  The world is a very annoying place.

True, bullet proof it aint.
