Rich,

There are some of us who were around back in the old days who remember
what insane pricing was *really* like.

I remember paying close to $400 for an EMPTY 1-MB RamFactor card and
then 32 chips to fill it up to the full 1-MB of RAM. Doing the
assembly myself saved around $80. I was making about $7 an hour back
in 1988, and that was no small investment.

So I consider $110 a bargain.
