Hi,

 I need to collect votes and positive responses to warrant forming
an INFO-AMIGA mailing lists so...

	ARPAnet types - send mail to LAVITSKY@RUTGERS if you wish to
			be part of INFO-AMIGA

	Usenetters -	send mail to ...{harvard,seismo,ut-sally,
			sri-iu,ihnp4!packard}!topaz!eric if you vote
			yes for net.micro.amiga

Please respond directly to me. If I get a good response, I will
begin setting up the list shortly. The list is intended as a forum
similiar to net.micro.mac. Exchanging ideas, tricks and programming
tips, discussion about the Amiga and products for it. I will try and
maintain an archive similiar to INFO-MAC of usefull sources here at
Rutgers.

Why not form net.micro.amiga???

It is said that Commodore doesn't
want their reputation for "game machines" (no flames please, I don't
agree with the title either) to be passed to the Amiga. Acording
to Compute!, they referr to the machine as 'The Amiga from Commodore'
as opposed to 'The Commodore Amiga'. Commodore's name isn't even on
the front of the machine.
