- Gentlepersons,
-
- I have just received and read notification of the new AppleLink pricing
- structure. All in all, it looks reasonable — with one exception.
-
- My main use of AppleLink is via my subscription to MacApp.Tech$. All of the
- discussion on MacApp.Tech$ is of great importance to Apple; it is the primary
- vehicle of feedback from developers to the MacApp team on the quality of MacApp
- — a product of ever-increasing importance to Apple.
-
- Charging AppleLink customers for those KC's exchanged via MacApp.Tech$ would be
- strangling Apple's golden goose of MacApp feedback. Without the constant
- feedback from developers that MacApp.Tech$ has provided, MacApp's progress
- would have been significantly different — and significantly less focused on the
- needs of the developer.
-
- Apple should not stem this flow of valuable information by charging developers
- for supplying it. Therefore, I suggest that AppleLink users not be charged for
- those KC's transmitted via MacApp.Tech$.
-
- Hoping to see this exception made to the pricing structure, I am
-
- Yours,
-
