    There is no real shortage of SIMMs except in economic terms which is
why the price is going up. However, Apple is simply not supplying the
bonsortium schools with SIMMs. I spoke to the local dealer that handles
the consortium as well as regular purchases, and the store has plenty
of SIMMs available for regular purchase, but have been back ordered since
September for consortium ones (they can't switch the inventory).
