When I got the most recent set of Tech Notes, I noticed that the index now
shows that many of the older notes have been revised (with a 3/88 revision
date, if I remember right).  I called up APDA to find out if subscribers
would receive new versions of the older notes.  In typical APDA tradition,
the customer service reps had no idea what was going on: "Uhh, we don't
know, all we do is sell the stuff.  We don't look inside the packages."  That
is a direct quote.  Does anyone else know what is going on here?  I would
normally not worry about this.  But I have seen references, in this group
and in some other Apple docs, to pages in older Tech Notes that do not
exist in my versions.  This makes me wonder if some of the revisions might be
significant.

By the way, what is the story on APDA?  There were rumors a while ago that
Apple was going to pull the plug on them, and reorganize the doc. distribution
back into their own support system.  Is this still going to happen?  If so,
I won't miss them: they've screwed up every order I've made.
