[net.micro.mac] Whats happened to Megamax

	I have talked to megamax about their HFS stuff. They claim it will be
out Real Soon Now. The main problem seems to be they are trying to acomplish
to much in their first release. I guess they don't realize that a system that
worked would be nice. It sounded like they haven't even started fixing batch
yet. Another thing slowing them down is that they bought a printing press type
of thingy so they can do their own manuals. It has been taking up quite a bit
of their time from what I gather. Why they spent a bunch of money on something
someone else can do better than they can and in less time is beyond me. I also
think they are having cash flow problems. Macintosh sales of their compiler
have reportedly dried up. They seem to think that there is more money to be
made on the ST. I think they will probably go bankrupt within a year. They seem
to be the slowest company in the world. That is a pretty amazing acomplishment
for a company with only 2 employees plus 2 owners.
