It's possible I suppose, but the SIMM that I used works fine in my Blizzard
1260. It's a 16MB SIMM. Not sure of the speed though, how can I find that
out?

I've had conversations with Eyetech in the past about fixing them and I'd
like to take their route, it just seems easier giving it all to someone else
to handle :-)

I think my Amiga is pseudo-self-aware. I've told a couple of others off
list, but I could have sworn that as Windows95 put protection errors all
over the hard disk, rendering the entire computer unusable, I could hear the
Amiga's floppy drive clicking faster than normal (and I turn it off with
MCX!) almost as if the Amiga was laughing at me...
