Me, too.

You should.  Will you get it?  Almost certainly not without some prodding ...

I guess I'm waiting for some sort of catalouge, or

Yep, the APDAlog.  It's an EXCELLENT reference for Mac developers.  You
will find the 3rd party prices a little steep, but nothing like they were
at first.

If not how do I find out about what

They are seemingly unable to send me my friggin' Tech Notes on time, and,
get this, ResEdit and MacsBug were BACKORDERED THREE WEEKS when I sent
for them ... what's the matter, did the copier break?  I dunno.  Eventually
I get everything I order, and at least they don't charge backordered items
to your credit card until they ship.  I have no complaints with APDA's
service other than that it's unbelievably slow at times.

Call APDA at 1-800-282-2732 and complain.  (And get used to it.  They seem
to require constant prodding.)
