That is, besides the "Developer Essentials" and "D e v e l o p" and "ETO", all of which I'm subscribed to. Dear Keith, and all other good folks at Apple: It is not that I don't appreciate your efforts and APDA's. I do! It is that I'd like to see you to accelerate removing "barriers" (both in terms of price and this "Partner / Associate" classification stuff) for S.A.P.A.Ds. And I'd like to add that I'm looking forward to your strengthening the apple.com FTP site. Oh, by the way, I guess I don't need direct access to MacDTS (that one I can understand it would cost a lot of money.) Regarding the price of THINK C, at Stanford University's MicroDisc computer shop, it is available at < $100. I don't intend to request APDA to drop the price to that level here, but to me this definitely tells something (if not everything) about how such software prices can be like. I thought that it might help calibrate your feeling on how some of us are feeling. Best regards, - Nobu Toge (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) #include #include
