FPM or EDO? And are the contacts gold or tin? Way back, there was talk about needing to match the contacts up on the SIMM modules with the type of contacts on the motherboard. There was much debate at the time on it, but I believe it's fair to say that unless you're still using one of these computer systems, it really didn't matter.
I also remember all the talk about the timeframe for the life of a CDR and how they would degrade over time. The blank manufacturers didn't want us to know this at the time, but those 100 year life cycles really depended on optimum storage conditions. Over time, I found that CDRs started becoming useless not because of the lighting or the color of the disc, but because the outer layers would start scratching up too much to be read, or even the layer would started peeling off.
I miss needing to match those 72 pin SIMMs up in pairs. At first, when I saw 'SIMM", I thought we were talking about SIM cards and it took me a moment to realize that we were talking about RAM modules.

There hasn’t been anything in the past like that, as others mentioned, Public seems to stick more towards adding bonus data or other features to other plans as an incentive.

@RobertQc Lol. Look at that price. I can't remember for sure, but I think I paid almost $200 for a 2 gig stick of ram!!

EDIT: a 2 MEG stick of ram, not gig!!

I'll trade you my 20 MB internal hard drive for your SIMM's!

@GreatCanadianHaha I am excited. 5 1/4" hdd days were good. Is that ST412? Clearly not IDE

I would pick up a lot of add-ons I didn't need if they were half price.

they have some intersting plans/addons, i think pm is cheaper overall ie talk and text is 35$ at koodo but here is $25 the one that caught my attention is the long distance it is more costly than PM $30/300 min vs $15/400 min but the list of countries is 50 not 18.

Interesting idea, to my recollection there has not.
will there be one I doubt it. as for reasoning i think it would be hard for people to "keep 3 addons in stroage" for future use. (the exact words) escape me at the moment though.
