I for one am not renewing my membership for APDA. Why?

1) Their prices for 3rd party products are higher than many mail-order houses
2) Their freight charges are outrageous - mail-order houses are *much* cheaper
3) I have received 4 APDAlogs for US$35. Other than the APDA catalog, there's
   nothing to them.

The only good thing to come from joining APDA in Dec '86 was receiving
Scott Knaster's book, "How to write Macintosh Software".

To anyone considering joining APDA, don't, unless you *have* to get MPW or
any other Apple products. 

The people from APDA are really riding the proverbial gravy-train...
