I'm curious, too.  I sent my disks and a check for $15 to Megamax back in
March for the most recent upgrade, and have heard nothing since.  Not even
"We got your correspondence and will reply as soon as possible," or "Due
to unavoidable delays... etc."  After all the good stuff we heard about
Megamax support in the early days, this surprises me somewhat.  Anyone
know the story, or have similar tales of woe?
