So you think that all the Apple ][ developers should go and hide from APDA in embarrassment, because of lack of support? And you think this will help the situation? Personally, I joined APDA and made sure that I sent in the member survey which indicates what kind of machine I develop on. As an Apple ][ Plus owner, I had to make my own checkbox! I also made sure that I filled in a response to the "what product would you like to see APDA carry" question. Even though there isn't a decent C compiler for the Plus (I'm rating based on code generation), I still asked them to carry one. Let them figure out how to develop it! Anyone else care to join APDA and let them know what their machine of choice is! You don't have to purchase high priced products that are available elsewhere for less. Just purchase beta documentation and buy the released manuals at your favorite bargain bookstore. This is the kind of boycotting that APDA will notice and take steps to improve. You'll get APDA's attention much quicker if you are in their statistics.
