About June '88 we bought one meg simms from MacProducts. Shortly afterwards, we began to have constant system board errors. When we had our Mac diagnosed at one of the University's Macintosh service centers, they found that the MacProducts simms had sloppy tinning on the contacts which made them thicker that the Apple standard. As a result, the simms broke the simm sockets. We contacted MacProducts about the problem and presented our Mac II for warranty repair. To get our Mac back, we had to pay $70.00 . MacProducts said that they had sold thousands of simms, and never had any problems. Our repair was not covered under their warranty because the Apple service people in the University's Mac shop had scraped excess solder off one of the simms when evaluating our problem. We filed a complaint with our University's lawyers. I have not heard anything about the problem since. nghiem standard disclaimer
