Okay, I decided to take a look at the new APDA catalog and I too am a bit
perturbed.  I am the one who edits the Notes and I don't like to see the
work we put out and information we want out for free to be used as a profit
center.  I've voiced my complaints and will resort to posting the actual
source files so you can print them all exactly as they come out on paper if
it is absolutely necessary.  For anyone out there who is upset about the
pricing of these things, I suggest you let APDA know about it.  Send your
complaints, via the net, to...

                   APDA@APPLELINK.APPLE.COM

and let them know your displeasure.  Thanks for your support.
