Dave, Excellent comments. I too have been concerned about the charter for MADA and whole-heartedly agree with you that "Macintosh" should be retained in the name and the emphasis continue to be on the Macintosh platform. This does not mean that we cannot also consider and discuss other platforms--indeed, it is probably in our interest to foster the cross-platform discussions but not at the exclusion of the Macintosh. So I'd like to submit the name "Macintosh Advanced Developers Association" for our organization. As I said in my campaign statement I believe that MADA has the responsibility to advocate our needs with the various hardware and software manufacturers: specifically Apple. We do need to keep MacApp alive until we find suitable alternatives. We do need to provide transistion assistance to our members when those alternatives become viable. If MADA doesn't retain its focus on Macintosh then we might as well just subscribe to JOOP, SCOOP, C++ Journal, etc. and attend their conferences. Mike R.

It would be nice to think, one day, that the Mac community could be secure enough to allow a Mac entity to become a general entity without fearing that it would cease to have allegiance to the Mac. I guess that we'll have to wait until a phrase like "for the Macintosh and the personal computer" (I could be misquoting slightly a recent press release concerning easy open) would be openly laughed at by everybody.
