- Yeah. Great. PCs use SIMMs, which continue to get better and larger. My SUNs
- use SIMMs. X-Stations use SIMMs. PostScript Printers use SIMMs. Probably
- most other Workstation-Level Computers use SIMMs. And your Remedy for the
- Incompatibility Problems which MAY arise is that we stick to some Manu-
- facturer-fixed Memory Standard, where Improvements will occur when this
- Manufacturer thinks that "his World" is ready to support it.
-
- Note that I don't say "PCs are good" or "Amigas are bad", but for THIS Aspect,
- PCs are much closer to State-of-the-Art Technology than your Amiga.

- Just my .02 - If you don't like it, get my .45.
