Re: EDP simm question

Hmmm....
When I was looking to buy my EDP+ I checked out the availability of the 
correct SIMMs on Ebay (I'm in the UK) and found loads, and cheap enough 
that 
I could buy a few from different sellers to cover myself. As it happens I 
didn't have to do this as mine came fully loaded (thanks Kelly), but it 
didn't look like a big problem.
