	I just received an "in-between catalogs" update from APDA. In the
newsletter, they apologize for not realizing that commercial disk-duplicators
can wear out disk drives. So, if you are one of the many who got MPW with
unreadable disks, call them up and they will send you replacements. As a bonus,
you get to keep the old disks (wow). I think their reliability would improve
more if they did stop using single-sided disks as double-sided.
	Other things of interest (that I can remember) from the catalog - they
tell what HyperCard materials they will stock, including the Script Reference
and the Goodman book. Inside Mac V is now in the final APDA draft. Someone is
advertising a tape backup unit for less than the Apple one (and it is 
supposedly compatible, as well). Other than that, I don't think there was 
anything really earth-shattering in this letter.

	Seconded! Can anyone at Apple who is reading this please pass this
request to those making the decisions? Jordan?
