(even if you have to buy ANOTHER set because the first one arrived as junk, you'd be buying cheaper...) Now about that 'shipping them to Europe' bit... it sometimes (err... just say 'often') happens that parcels get x-rayed on the way, which, when you say 'Lockerbie' isn't a surprise... Does this ruin the SIMMs? how about the packaging the companies use? Can it stand being sent by mail or UPS or whatever mail service? -John Sinteur, sinteur@uvabick.uucp adegroot@hroeur5.bitnet john sinteur, 2:512/114 fidonet
