Another item: I joined APDA a few weeks ago, mainly to get an upgraded
Allegro Common Lisp (which I bought before Apple bought the company).

All I received from Apple was the product itself, which turns out to be
defective. If I hadn't been reading the net, I would have had to contact
APDA myself to discover that a free replacement was due to me. Also, I did
not receive APDALog, or any other documentation (e.g., how to order APDA
products, or an invoice confirming that the cheque I sent was for the
right amount).

I wonder: could this kind of thing could put some people off?
