Can the discussions of the macintosh and the lisa be split off into another news group? (I.E., a new one?) I'm interested in the M and the L, but I have only epsilon interest in apple N widgets, etc.

Is anyone interested in an ARPANET/USENET gateway of the new ARPANET
INFO-MAC mailing list into, for instance, net.micro.mac? Enough traffic
already exists (and then some) in INFO-MAC. Gatewaying into net.micro.apple
is probably not appropriate.
If there is interest, is there a host willing to act as the gateway?

I would enjoy reading more stuff about the MAC. If there is a way of getting the new ARPANET INFO-MAC mailing list into USENET then I think net.micro.mac should be created. "Now, We're Never Alone" Another Message In The Bottle from Robert DeBenedictis decvax!yale-comix!debenedi

------------- I also am interested in both a gateway to the Arpanet Macintosh bulletin board and a new newsgroup for the Micro 32 machines. I have less than epsilon interest in old and clunky 6500 based micros, but quite a bit in the Mac and the Lisa.

I propose net.micro.apple.mac. I have no interest in the IIE.

I vote for a separate group for Mac and Lisa. They have next to nothing
in common with the Apple N series.
net.micro.lisa might be more appropriate, since both Mac and Lisa are
Lisa Technology machines. net.micro.lisa is inclusive of both the
Mac and the Lisa, but net.micro.mac doesn't appear to be inclusive
of Lisa. On the other hand... I couldn't care less.
I also vote for the ARPA gateway thereof.

I, too, believe there is good reason for separate groups for the Lisa/Mac Apples, and the Apple N machines. However, why not use the division that Apple itself is going to use, the Apple 32's and the Apple 2's (I'm not certain about the second, but it is in that vein). -- Clark (Quinn) ucbvax!sdcsvax!sdcsla!clark

It seems that the general interest in net.micro.apple has indeed
shifted to the Mac and his best girl Lisa, to the point where
a new group is desired. While I am not in favor of adding new
groups for every inovation that comes along, I do realize that
there is a major difference between the old trooper (read
Apple ][) and the new kids on the block. I don't really feel
that net.micro.mac should be created since Mac is off of the
same tree as the ][+,e, and III, and other folk who peruse
net.micro may start wanting new subsets for their pet machines
too. Might I suggest that Mac could be discussed in
net.micro.68K?

Net.micro.mac is an excellent idea. In response to some other
comments:
Net.micro.apple.mac is an unmanageable name.
Probably the group should be called 'mac' rather than lisa,
since there are many more Macintoshi than Lisas.
Net.micro.68k is devoted to small multi-user systems very
unlike the Macintosh. Macintosh discussion in net.micro.68k
seems an intrusion.

There has been all of this discussion about whether a new apple newsgroup should be net.apple.lisa or net.apple.mac. Why not call it net.apple.32 which is how Apple Computer talks about its new product line. -- M.L. Robins ihuxn!mlr
