One of the people I work with said he talked with some other
lighting guys from another gig that was in town over the weekend.
They said that everyone they've know who has been involved 
with a Maxxyz has had bad things to say about it. It's always the
same...time after time. I mentioned it to a friend who is a sound
guy, and he said there are very few people who try to use one.
I pointed out since that's the case Martin should make a point
of providing help when people need it since they can't go find 
it anywhere else...that if High End was too half ass to provide
help with Hogs--which they are NOT!--it wouldn't be as bad 
since there are enough people using them that help could be
found a number of places. Not so and apparently with good
reason with the damn Maxxyz, because most people have
apparently learned to avoid them.
