Why should he ignore unreasonable offers when he specifically asked 
that such offers not be sent. $145 for an 8 meg simm IS insulting, that
is only $18 a meg. If that is a normal price where you are let me know...
I will have a new catalog with 'reasonable' prices out in 24 hrs(alongside
the ad for a certain bridge)
