So I guess you think that if you took the SIMMs from from your printer
and put them in your PC then they work. Wrong, they are just as
incompatible as an Amiga 500 memory expansion pack (and believe me, I 
detest the Amiga). And then there's the crapola Mac which uses EIGHT
chip SIMMS. And then there's IBM which makes their computers use a
special type of SIMM, not the widely available PC-clone type.
IBM is just the worst company I have ever beheld. Oh well. They lose.
