I agree.  I think that while some might complain about lack of content
in some of the articles, the APDAlog is now *much* better layed out,
it's much easier to find what you're looking for, and in general seems
very clear and accessible.  None of this can be said about the old
APDAlog, which developed from a few pages of catalog listings into
something that showed signs of the fatal Pagemaker-itis disease, but
which at no point was ever very well done.

Now if they would just throw out their ridiculous billing procedures
(each item having an associated shipping cost, sending you twelve
invoices, each with pro-rated shipping and tax charges, etc.), and if
they could manage to keep more than 50% of their items in stock (a
curious term for the tech notes, which seem to go out of stock whenever
they run out of toner for their copy machine), we'd really be set.
