Is there any non-ftp site where these are readily available?  I mean, other
than joining APDA (perhaps not too expensive) and purchasing them all (I'd
almost hate to even ask what the price would be).  The only tech notes I have
managed to acquire are about the last 4 (or so) released sets from
comp.binaries.mac.  This is a pretty slow process, and waiting for older notes
you might need to be updated and sent out is next to useless.  Does the tech
note stack allow printout of the notes in a nice format like the Macwrite
versions?  They are much more useful in printed format.  (At least to me.)
