[comp.sys.mac.programmer] TechAlliance developmental software sales closed

moriarty@tc.fluke.COM (Jeff Meyer) (11/18/89)

Found a note in my mailbox when I got home saying that the Mac development
software and book sales section of TechAlliance has closed, due to
"increasing competition".  (APDA, I presume?)  They will continue to run
their bulletin board service and publish their two technical journals,
MacTech Quarterly and Call-A.P.P.L.E.

Just thought you'd like to know...

                            No land is beyond my claim
                            When land is seized in the people's name
                            By evil men who rob and maim -- 
                            If war is hell, *I'm* not to blame.

                            Why, you can't blame me, I'm heaven's child
                            And the second son of Mary Mild;
                            And I'm twice removed from Oscar Wilde
                            [But he didn't mind, why, he just smiled!]

Gee, that _is_ too bad. With APDA (and the occaisional MacTutor discount) being
one of the few retail sources that I am aware for obscure development software
and related items, I guess we can look forward to paying out the nose for just
about everything now :(
