Some time ago I asked if others had received their APDA catalogs.
One person answered that they had just received one.  The last one
I received was the infamous "APDA World in Reverse" cover.  (And to
set the record straight - it was not the fault of some dumbo
printer. It is a matter of policy in the printing world to give the
customer a copy of the final product and have them verify the
contents *before* the print run.)

Seems odd that nobody has drawn the obvious conclusion that Claris
will become the new APDA. Wonder if we will still have to pay $20 a
year for a Mac catalog? It would probably be fairer if you only had
to pay for that portion of the catalog dedicated towards your
interests; that way the Apple ][ folks would only have to pay about
$1.87 per year.

Since the APDA folding surfaced here four or more months ago it
would seem that Apple has already figured out what the replacement,
if any, was going to be. If that is so, "why hasn't there been an
announcement on the net?" If not here, then mailings to APDA
members would seeem appropriate. Anyone out there received such a
notice? (I need to ask this since I'm not getting catalogs so it
isn't clear that Apple would know of my existence.)
