When I bought my hard disk (Mirror) 1-1/2 months ago, it came with a
flyer advertising their SIMMS. They had this theory that with System 7
coming out, everyone would want to buy memory, so the prices would go up.
Their suggestion - buy now, avoid the rush! (Surprise, surprise...) I
don't know how accurate this theory is, but it seems that simple economics
dictates that if more people want them, the price will go up.
