Apple Associates -- US & Canada (other business areas have their own
                    programs)
The cost of this program is $350 per year.  This is the mainstream
program for commercial developers.  You get a hardware purchase program,
developer hotline, invitation to the World Wide Developer's Conference,
developer mailings, access to Developer University, the Macintosh
Directory of Development Services (listing companies that can help you
supplement your own development teams) and AppleLink, our electronic
mail system.

Apple Partners -- US & Canada (other business areas have their own
                  programs)
The cost of this program is $600 per year.  This program is for selected
strategic developers.  You get everything that Associates get plus
access via AppleLink to Developer Technical Support for helping with
code-level technical development assistance.

programs, send email to devhotline@applelink.apple.com or call (408)
974-4897.
