Since there still seems to be some confusion over this, perhaps I can help clear things up (or perhaps obfuscate them further :-): - For the cost of $0, you can order Class 1 products from APDA. Class 1 products consist of final versions of key technical references as well as development tools that have been carefully documented and tested. - For the cost of $20/yr, you can additionally order Class 1B, 2, and 3 products from APDA. These products include beta versions of Class 1 products, untested and/or undocumented pieces of software, and out-of-date or obsolete utilties. - For the cost of $350/yr, you can become an Apple Associate. This is NOT a program through APDA, though it does give APDA membership. Being an Apple Associate means hardware discounts, World-Wide Developer Conference invitation, support through the Developer Hotline, access to AppleLink and all of the technical information and utilities on it, and monthly Developer mailings that include the latest technotes, sample code, "develop", AppleDirect, and product information sheets. - For the cost of $600/yr, you can become an Apple Parter. Being an Apple Partner means getting everything listed above, and adds being able to send questions to DTS. The first two programs are APDA programs. You can contact APDA at: APDA Apple Computer, Inc. 20525 Mariani Ave., M/S 33-G Cupertino, CA 95014-6299 USA Phone numbers: 1-800-282-2732 (U.S.) 1-800-637-0029 (Canada) 1-408-562-3910 (International) 1-408-562-3971 (FAX) 171-576 (TELEX) e-mail: AppleLink: APDA GEnie: A.DEVELOPER3 CompuServe: 76666,2405 Internet: APDA@applelink.apple.com MacNet: APDA MCI: POSTROM The second two programs are offered through the Apple Developer Group within Apple.
