I am the one who edits the Notes and I don't like to see the work we put out and information we want out for free to be used as a profit center. I've voiced my complaints and will resort to posting the actual source files so you can print them all exactly as they come out on paper if it is absolutely necessary. For anyone out there who is upset about the pricing of these things, I suggest you let APDA know about it. Send your complaints, via the net, to... APDA@APPLELINK.APPLE.COM and let them know your displeasure. Thanks for your support. This message, of course, is not endorsed or acknowledged by my employer. Mark B.
