Back before I went on vacation, Apple had stopped accepting applications for the Partners and Associates programs. As I understood it at that time, Apple was revamping these programs and couldn't say when they would start accepting applications again. I've looked through all of the comp.sys.mac.programmer articles that were still on our news system when I got back, but found no items on this topic. Has Apple started accepting applications for Partners and Associates again? If not, is it known when that will be? How have these programs been changed?

I am just wanted to get some information on one of Apple's Developer Programs. I'm already in APDA, but I remember hearing about a program where if you pay $700 (??)a yeaR that you could recieve tech notes, the developer CD, etc. Does such a program exist? Are any of you netters in one of these programs? If so, is it worth it? Thank you.
