	I am aware that the trade barriers against Japan are now really starting
to have its effect on memory chip prices.  However, what I don't understand
is why one company is selling 2 Megs of RAM (chips only) for around $800 and
others seem to be selling 2 Meg fully populated boards with expansion chasis
at prices like $700.  Why the trememdous difference in price?  Are some 
companies getting secret duty-free supply lines from Japan?
