Here it is, the 20th of July.  I sent in my customer agreement on June
30, and I still have not heard back from APDA.  At least they do not
bill your credit card right away.

I have heard various "yes, they are slow" messages before on the net, but
can someone answer the question "why are they so slow"?  I am wanting to
purchase some programming documentation, but I can't.  (At least I found
that the Mac Zone carries the Inside Macintosh books.  I ordered volume
4 today, and it should arrive tomorrow.)

I think that anything over 10 days to process a simple piece of paper
is unreasonable.  You would think that Apple, since they specialize in
computing, would be able to get this down to an automated process.  This
should only take about 15-20 minutes to type in the info.  But it looks
like it is taking 15-20 days (or more).

p.s.  My words in no way could ever possibly be construed as coming from
      Apple's mouth.

p.p.s.  For those of you who are interested, Apple's Student Reps will
      no longer be employees/contractors of Apple as of August 15 (with
      some contractual exceptions).  They will be employees of Kelly
      Temporary Services, or some place like that.  I don't think that
      this is bad, though.  In fact, it may actually be helpful.
