I, along with three other people, bought MacIIs from Apple in November
as Apple Developers.  We got our 1MB machines, drives, monitors, etc,
but we are STILL waiting for our 4MB SIMM upgrades.  What makes this
so infuriating is that Apple is shipping these SIMMS (sold to others
at higher prices)!  Talk about sleazy business practices.  

Several questions.  First, isn't it illegal for Apple to distribute
SIMMS to people that ordered after us?  We entered into a binding
agreement to deliver goods, and clearly that demonstrates poor faith
on the part of Apple which places them in breach. Second, if anyone
has had a similar experience and found a good way to deal with it that
got you the memory, let me know.  If any Apple employees read this, I
would appreciate your personal views on this.  I used to be an
evangelist, but I'm about ready to turn atheist.  Is it time for small
claims court?
