Some comments (being the one who asked whether there was life after
Megamax version 1.1).
1. Despite having purchased Megamax, sent off all registration cards etc.
   I have never received any newsletter. In fact, Megamax have never
   answered mail sent directly to them!
2. I wanted a version free of all the bugs which I and others have found.
   I regard that as a moral duty on the part of Megamax, and one which
   should cost me a minimum (disk postage cost). Instead, I see the usual
   example of what I call moral dishonesty, whereby I have to pay for
   a completely new version (which may have new bugs!). This sounds like
   incitement to produce programs with lots of bugs: each time you fix a
   few you put in some added functionality so that you can get more money
   out of the poor sucker who bought the product.

Anyway, it is nice to know that Megamax 2.0 (sorry, Laser C) will be
available "real soon now".
