Hi folks, I recently (like February) joined APDA. Since then I've recieved a marker board, and an APDA membership card (both at the same time). That's it. Nothing else. Should I expect something more for the membership fee. I guess I'm waiting for some sort of catalouge, or something similar. Should I? If not how do I find out about what I can order from them? Has anybody out there recieved any regular mailing since February. Does anyone have a phone number I can call APDA. Thanks for your help. Tony Giaccone

Will you get it? Almost certainly not without some prodding ... I guess I'm waiting for some sort of catalouge, or >something similar. Should I? Yep, the APDAlog. It's an EXCELLENT reference for Mac developers. You will find the 3rd party prices a little steep, but nothing like they were at first. If not how do I find out about what >I can order from them?

I dunno. Eventually I get everything I order, and at least they don't charge backordered items to your credit card until they ship. I have no complaints with APDA's service other than that it's unbelievably slow at times. Call APDA at 1-800-282-2732 and complain. (And get used to it. They seem to require constant prodding.)

I called that number to ask them to send me an information packet. Within two days, it showed up in the mail. So I filled out the membership form and sent it back in. I haven't heard back from them in the last three weeks. I'll give them a couple more, but I really would like to get my membership stuff back so I can place an order. I am confident that they will eventually get things together. Luckily I am a patient person. -Michael -- Michael Niehaus UUCP: <backbones>!{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!mithomas Apple Student Rep ARPA: mithomas@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Ball State University AppleLink: ST0374 (from UUCP: st0374@applelink.apple.com)

seem to know how to join APDA. Though I'm a member, this should
not be construed as any kind of endorsement of APDA.
