	I was also very impressed by the new APDA prices (LIST or greater).
I noticed that the new APDA wants $175 for the Lightspeed 'C' compiler,
while the old APDA (TechAlliance) wants $120.  I joined APDA for the
discounts, as much as anything, and Apple is not providing them. I
guess it's time to send a check to Techalliance.


	Since I have their blurb in front of me, the address is:

	TechAlliance
	290 SW 43rd St.
	Renton, WA  98055

	If you are not already an APDA member, it looks like membership
is $26.00/year.  If you are an APDA member, you probably know more than
I do.
