	Well, not really.  There are two types of developers: registered and
commercial.  Registered gets AmigaMail, and some other stuff.  Commercial
gets some other things including access to a private conference on BIX.
I think registered is $50 (not a lot), commercial is rather higher ($450
comes to mind).  There is an open (to all) amiga.dev conference on bix
for developers, registered or not; places to report bugs, etc.

	I think Carolyn has posted lists of what's available (non-
developers included) before, she may do so again.  You can always call or
write CATS.

	"official" support is done on BIX, usenet messages are out of the
goodness of our hearts.  :-)

	For detailed (and correct :-) info on these call or write CATS.  The
number escapes me at this hour; the address is CATS, Commodore Business
Machines, 1200 Wilson Dr, West Chester, PA  19380.

	Sounds like the perfect example of someone who should be a registered
developer.
