	I am told that the cause of the sharp increase in memory prices
is a result of a new 80% tariff in imported semiconductors.  Locally a
place that was selling 1Mbx9 SIMMs for about $30 has raised its price to
almost $60.00.  Get your memory quick from old stock...now maybe this
country will start thinking of sinking more of its resources into new
process research rather than new product (cuz as many things as we
invent the Japnanese will find a better, quicker, and cheaper way to
make it).
