Question:

	Let's say that the chip shortage is over.  Anyone else think that
when the supply of chips catches up that there will be a huge decrease of
price?  :-)

	Next question.  How many layers are the simm boards anyway?
2 layer?  4 layer?  Actually what I'm trying to find out is, would it
be possible to use the old 256 simms in my MacPlus, remove the old 256
chips and put in the the 1M chips in there place?  Is this cheaper? Can
someone who can hold a solder iron do this?  It seems that one could get
chips alot cheaper than simms and save some bucks.  But is it worth it?
