where I'm at, if you want the ram, you dont want to use UPS.  Thats why I
said its crushed.  Around me, Fed-X and UPS both use, UPS to deliver, and
only about 1/2 of the stuff gets delivered.  No joke. and yes, its
expensive for ram.  I live in a little ass hick town.  8088's are classed
as "Real computers" are resold for $100 and everyone uses them and wants
to "download thatinernat".  Some friends and I checked a few days back 
and for 1 16 meg simm, ram is $80.94 with tax.  Thats $74.95 + $0.08
/dollar, which is $5.06 a meg.  I could order it, at $2 per meg, pay to
have it delivered, entrust it to some freak with a tail, and have him even
deliver the broken pieces to my house, but I'm not sure I wanna go that
route.
