Now I know that I've been mentally mispronouncing Euler (I doubt I've ever spoken the name). I've always read it as "Yuler". I never would have guessed it's "Oiler".

I just managed to buy and install 2 extra GB RAM in my iMac for the equivalent of 1.5 US dollar
On the net an American webshop wanted to charge me 120 US Dollar 
Those would have been brand new, but still 
And why would I want brandnew RAM in a 10 year old computer anyway? It's not like they are burned off like petrol
