It turns out that when you don't consult with your IT staff (me, in this
case) you end up with a bad deal.  The sticks that we purchased were
about $700 for 100, and they use a poor choice of glue to secure the PCB
in the housing, so they are prone to failure as the force of insertion
pushes the working parts too far into the housing to complete the
connection.  YMMV, but caveat emptor.
