This seems to be of general enough interest to ask it publicly.  How (in
sickening detail) does one go about becoming a registered ST developer?
I have heard the amoun $300 mentioned several times, but nothing else (well,
there was something a long time ago about $100 for the documentation set,
but that wouldn't seem to include such valuable thing as the privilege of
purchasing the 'version 1.4 readiness kit').  Since the developers's kit
is reputed to include Mark Williams C (although the Mark Williams Company
denied that when I asked them) is ther any special consideration available
for those who already own it?  I hear talk of newsletters and updates.  
What DOES a registered developer get in addition to a large box of documents
and the new materials that were recently mentioned in this group?  And
of course the usual question to get me ready for the predictable next time:
where SHOULD I have learned all this stuff instead of asking the world?
