I think Bill slipped up on his pricing: RAM is typically 10 MB/dollar
these days, not $10/MB.
Different memory types have different prices. Ok, today you can buy a
512 Mb DDR DIMM for $50 (or less!), but this price would only be
meaningfull to Apple II users if you could somehow plug a DDR module on
a IIgs. Memory gets cheaper with time, but when a kind of memory gets
obsolete, it tends to start raising its price. For example, go and try
to find a *cheap* 72-pin SIMM for an old PowerMac or 486, or even a
[more recent] non-DDR DIMM, and you will see that their
price-per-megabyte ratio is a lot higher than those of current PC3200
DDR modules. Also, a memory card isn't only memory, it has also a
circuit board, some support chips, and the labor needed to assemble all
it. I don't know if $44 for 4 Mb is cheap or not, but IMHO it isn't too
"slipped up" - even if at a first glance it may seem a lot of money.
