Below is partial information about the Apple development programs: The Apple Partners program will be available to commercial developers, such as independent third-party developers, VARs, software publishers, system integrators and OEMs, who intend to market and resell their products. The new Apple Associates program will be available to those developing non-commercial customized solutions such as corporate in-house developers, MIS professionals, consultants, scientists, researchers, educators, industry analysts and distributors in the business, education, and government areas. What I still do not understand, is if they expect people in education and government areas to join, how can they accept only cashiers checks or money orders? I believe I lost my mind. Universitites are not the easiest place to work, as you always need purchase orders for anything greater than $300 dollars where I am. This allows the university to keep better tabs on the money, while sometimes(as in this case) creating problems. If anyone knows this to be true, and uses purchase orders, and did join Apple Developers, please let me know what you did to join. I be losing my mind again...... Thank you, Scott Hutinger Macomb Projects mser001@ecncdc.bitnet

That way your university learns that a PO isn't "...legal tender for all debts public and private" and Apple's bureaucrats learn about the facts of university and government life from a professional explainer of same (let the bureaucrats beat each others' brains out :-) Murph Sewall Vaporware? ---> [Gary Larson returns 1/1/90] Prof. of Marketing Sewall@UConnVM.BITNET Business School sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu [INTERNET] U of Connecticut {psuvax1 or mcvax }!UCONNVM.BITNET!SEWALL [UUCP] (203) 486-5246 [FAX] (203) 486-2489 [PHONE] 41 49N 72 15W [ICBM] -+- I don't speak for my employer, though I frequently wish that I could (subject to change without notice; void where prohibited)

Murph Sewall has a great idea: >Better yet, have your puchasing officer call! That way your university >learns that a PO isn't "...legal tender for all debts public and private" >and Apple's bureaucrats learn about the facts of university and government >life from a professional explainer of same (let the bureaucrats beat each >others' brains out :-) I like that Idea! But...I received a letter from DEVSERVICES that stated who to send in ATTN of, and that they would make an exception in my case, and accept a PO. Now lets see if Accounting will itemize this under Software. I just love universities, its even better when your under Federal jurisdiction, and the university doesnt know where to "lump" you. Scott Hutinger mser001@ecncdc.bitnet now where did my sig go?
