GOOD NEWS:

   Lauren says that she has spoken to you about the delay.  Your package
was mailed about 2 months ago to a Post Office Box which was the wrong
address, and we were not aware of this until it was returned to us
recently.  I am not sure if the PO Box address was supplied on your
application or if that was an error at this end.  We apologize for
the delay.  Your package was remailed to your correct address last
week and you should be receiving it very soon.

   
BAD NEWS:

   The Certified developer package does not include DiskEd (which will
be on the Software Tools product), and does not include bus timings
(these are in the A1000 Schematics and Expansion Specs).  

   It does include a 1 year Amigamail subscription, $20 BIX discount
coupon, 1.2 Enhancer (which may be returned un-opened for any of
our $20 support materials), and a discount hardware price list.
The hardware discounts alone are worth the $50.
