You are losing your memory old man :-).  There was a Certified Developer and
a Registered Developer program back around the time of the loose-leaf edition.
I especially loved some of the comments on the Mac hardware in that edition--
"The Mac will always have....an internal 840K floppy drive...This is the
only configuration-- the consistency of the Mac interface depends on the
consistency of its hardware"
(not really a quote, paraphrased from memory)
