Wrong.  Until 1986 or so, it would have cost you *$400* to be a "real" develop-
er.  Comparing what one got *then* vs. what one gets *now*, if Apple is
still charging $600, I can only conclude that the people who are buying are
getting the better part of the deal.  I don't recall Apple ever officially
supporting people outside its registered developer programs.
