ObjectWare catalog

I have seen the new NeXT ObjectWare catalog and would like to have one since
I'm a NeXTSTEP developer and believe in paying for someone else's work if it
will save me enough time.  I called NeXT and asked how I might get one.  They
said to give them a credit card number and one would be on its way.  I asked
about Registered Developer pricing, but the person knew nothing about that and
didn't know who to contact.

NeXT seems to have discontinued its regular Registered Developer mailings.
It's been quite a while since I received anything from NeXT.  I had hoped to
see the ObjectWare catalog appear in my mail box, but I suspect I'll be waiting
a long time :-)

Does anyone know whether a Registered Developer price exists for ObjectWare?
If not, who at NeXT now handles Registered Developer matters?  (I'm afraid to
"ask_next" because I'd probably get a bill in the mail rather than a catalog
:-)

I don't want to nit-pick, flame, or offend anyone with a tight budget
(mine is tight as well), but isn't it a little bit of a waste of your
time (as a professional developer) to try and get developer pricing on
an $11 catalogue that's really only useful for developers anyway??
You do say that you believe in paying for objects if it will save you
time.  This leads me to believe that your time is valuable to you...

I mean, I would go through all sorts of contortions to mabe sure I got
my developer pricing on a $7,000 computer, but on an $11 catalogue?
