The New York Times today (1/2/87) reported the new "fair-market-value" price
for 1 megabit RAM chips to be $13. (I believe this is a lowest price for
large quantities) Since the old price was in the $22 range and one could
buy single chips for under $40, perhaps we'll see them in the $20 range for
small numbers soon. This would make the Levco Prodigy 4 look even more
ridiculous than it actually is. 

The current FMV for 256k RAMs is in the $2.50 range for this quarter - this
means that the megabits are very close to that magic 5x price. Will the next
Macs show up with them?
