> > The latest issue of MacWeek has a rumor column which states that > APDA is no longer accepting advertisments for ads in its APDAlog. Isn't their quarterly catalog a little past due? Also, how do you lose money charging for a catalog that has advertisments and the prices in the catalog are higher than those charged by mail order houses that have to pay to advertise in national magazines? I think the picture on the front of their catalog where everything was reversed says it all. Perhaps they should go out of business and Apple should let someone like Programs Plus take over the line of goods. -- Joe Walters ihnp4!ihlpf!bird IHP 1F-240 (312) 416-5356

How much less? I'm interested in discounts on utilities and programming languages. >national magazines? I think the picture on the front of their >catalog where everything was reversed says it all.

Is it your opinion that the person who did the actual photo layout work for the catalog is responsible for the rest of the company, and that because of his/her actions, the company should go out of business? National magazines have typos in them, and I would think that magazine editors are more important than the photo layout people in terms]os of subject matter.
