  I appreciate your comment- it is good to know Dave is one of the good
guys-
But when I have kingston and Micron I sell 16 mb simms for $10- I stll think
the price is too high.  BTW I have been a computer tech for 15 years and
have many times run good brands such as Micron when the manufacturer
specified their own-
Quite often the "manufacturer's spec" is simply an excuse for higher prices-
Look at Compaq prices on replacement hard drives,processors etc to see what
I mean- you will pay 2 to 3 times the price of the same item from INTEL or
Quantum.
Please understand- we are not talking two or three machines- I worked for a
Compaq dealer who installed several hundred machines a year.  You are
correct about generic memory-some is good a lot of it isn't worth the powder
to blow it up.
