I am very much in favor of creating an apple mac/lisa newsgroup -
but *not* in calling it net.micro.mac. According to all of APPLE
Corps literature, the mac is a (small) part of their thrust into
32 bit micros, using "lisa technology". Therefore I propose that
the group be called net.micro.lisa after the family of computers
APPLE proposes, not merely a single member of the family. If a
precedent is set for naming newsgroups in net.micro after specific
machines (imagine net.micro.pc and net.micro.xt) instead of after
generic categories, then the groups will proliferate uncontrollably.
