Lucky sod.  Over here, yes, 1M SIMMs are something you have trouble
giving away, but 4M 30-pin SIMMs are worth far more than makes sense;
it seems there are lots of legacy systems that take 30-pin RAM that
people are trying to fill with as much RAM as they can manage.

Except that shipping from Oz-land (you are in .au, are you not?) would
probably be more than even they are worth, I'd offer to take those 4M
sticks off your hands (especially if they're real parity RAM) - I count
40 one-meg sticks that could usefully be replaced by 4-meggers.

Heh.  This room has nearly two dozen fans (spread over 7 machines)
going, enough that I can't hear the doorbell in here:

- Truly-Delicious (486DLC, no case): power supply fan, CPU fan

- Twig (Sun-3/60): pizza-box fan, external disk enclosure fan

- Collatz (NeXT Cube): Cube fan

- Sparkle (SPARC IPX): enclosure fan, external disk enclosure fan

- Stone (SPARC IPX): enclosure fan

- Vger (decapitated SPARC ELC): power supply fan, CPU cooling fan

- no name (-3/60 in -3/260 VME cardcage): 10(?) fans in VME chassis, 2
  fans in external shoebox powering external disk
