Summary: Megamax presentation to Austin Developers' Group we came away with a lot of doubts about their future


We had a presentation from the folks in Richardson in the meeting nearly
a month ago now, and, to sum it up, we came away very much in doubt about
that companies future.  I hope I may be forgiven for just glossing over the
details, but they did not inspire any faith in me and most of those present
that they are in control of the problems they are confronting to keep
up with the Mac's evolution.

My impression is that if you have to choose which compiler to go with,
Megamax-C does not come out looking well.  And if you are able to consider
changing from Megamax to something else, you probably should; the sooner the
better.  In the past, price was their biggest Plus - but with Lightspeed-C
out, there now is another choice.

I don't care to discuss this matter in details, but recommend that
interested parties take a hard look at alternatives to Megamax also.
