This rumor seems very likely, since Apple has now started shipping their faster
machines (SE/30 and IIx -- I don't know about the IIcx) with 100ns memory
when they only need 120ns memory. When they do this, then they are buying the
100ns SIMMs in sufficient quantities that they are not outrageously expensive
for the new machine...
Also, I believe that the memory upgrade kits that you can buy from Apple
(if you want to pay that much) are also 100ns SIMMs. Can you say stockpile :->
