All the discussion of the Videx FunPack brings to mind an earlier program:
MacVegas, which I used to play all the time. Unfortunately, when I upgraded
(to a Plus, I believe), the program refused to run due to #@#%#@$#@$ copy
protection. Does anyone know if a patch is available or if Videx is still
supporting this package (or still around for that matter!)

Consider this another vote to shoot companies which believe in copy protection,
even on games. When my system is updated, I want to be able to run software,
not buy "upgrades" particularly when the software was running just fine, thank
you.
