I think the agreement reproduced above is substantially the same as the
old APDA agreement.  Basically I think both APDA's don't want people calling
up and expecting support for products which may be beta and/or difficult
to use.

Got my new MacTech journal.  The mag seems OK, but the product offering
is not all that large.  But then again, they're just starting out. Perhaps
we should give both APDA and MacTech a little while to get settled.  If
the new APDA is indeed "pricing out" the amateur, I think we should let
Apple know that that is not at all cool.  But let's see what happens.
