Great. PCs use SIMMs, which continue to get better and larger. My SUNs use SIMMs. X-Stations use SIMMs. PostScript Printers use SIMMs. Probably most other Workstation-Level Computers use SIMMs. And your Remedy for the Incompatibility Problems which MAY arise is that we stick to some Manu- facturer-fixed Memory Standard, where Improvements will occur when this Manufacturer thinks that "his World" is ready to support it. Note that I don't say "PCs are good" or "Amigas are bad", but for THIS Aspect, PCs are much closer to State-of-the-Art Technology than your Amiga. Just my .02 - If you don't like it, get my .45. J.
