Can someone tell me how to join BMUG (Berkeley Macintosh User Group)?
Note:  I'm on the east coast (otherwise I'd probably have joined long
ago), so this has to be done by e-mail or (shudder!) snail-mail.

I need to get a copy of MacsBug (or equivalent), and I'd like to get
it as quickly as possible.  I understand it's available from BMUG
(PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong on this), so this is the proximate
cause of wanting to join--but I've been meaning to anyway.  I could
get MacsBug from APDA for $35, but that would probably take six weeks,
and I want it ASAP.

Related questions:

I've heard BMUG offers their shareware collection on a compact disc.
How much is this?  Does it also include non-shareware stuff (like
MacsBug)?

Can anyone compare MacsBug and TMON for me?  (I can get TMON overnight
from MacWarehouse for about $90.)  Are these generally the same sort
of beast, or apples and oranges?  One feature I need is the ability to
interrupt a program and look at a symbolic disassembly of it--I'm
pretty sure MacsBug will do this, but I don't know about TMON.

Advance thanks to anyone who answers....
