- 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.
