Hello Apple?
I develop Mac software on my own time at home. I have already sunk quite
a bit of my own money into Apple (Mac II, color monitor, APDA, Inside Mac, 
MPW, MPW C, MIDI Toolbox, etc.)  I am not a large corporation that can 
afford to buy anything!  I just do not have the cash to buy a CD ROM
(around $700 - $1200), becoming an Apple Partner ($600/year), flying to
the 'annual Spring Developers' Conference', or (after becoming a
'partner') buying a CD that has the updated Inside Mac Manuals ($???).
I would appreciate being able to get the updated IM in some other
(slightly cheaper) form.  Thank you.

I have purchased MPW and MPW C through APDA (version 3.0) about five
months ago.  Version 3.1 is now available (I believe).  What is the
upgrade path (I'm sure I'll find out in the Feb-no-March (only ten days
left!) issue of APDAlog)?  Will I have to sink another $100 in?

My wife got her FOUR year old car fixed UNDER WARRANTY recently, and she
paid about the same for her car as the list price of a color Mac II 
w/4MB and an 80meg disk.  (She still has another two years left on her
warranty).  How 'bout that ole 90 days?
