  Hold on a second...... You do not have to be a commercial/registered 
  developer with CBM to receive AmigaMAIL. So *ALL* Amiga programmers
  (or those who think they are) should be reading AmigaMail. Its not
  expensive, only around $20 a year (I think).

  Don't forget you can buy the includes and autodocs from CBM as "JOE
  AVERAGE OFF THE STREET" and have the information needed to program
  the Amiga.

  Besides I don't see IBM or APPLE giving things away so folks know the
  correct way to program for their machines. Seems to me many 3rd party
  folks have made a lot of money selling books on how to program them.
