[net.micro.amiga] Pointer to Jackintosh and Amiga discussions

gnu@l5.uucp (John Gilmore) (09/20/85)

I recently discovered that there's a fair bit of discussion about the
new 68000 based home computers on the net.  It's just not obvious to
many of us who long ago unsubscribed from net.micro.atari and net.micro.cbm,
not wanting to hear about the toy machines.  This is a shame, especially
considering the lack of good media coverage of these machines.

Gnu's Guideline to where to read and post:

net.micro.68k	is for 68k architecture related stuff only, and an
		occasional pointer to other info (like this one).
		Little or no Jacki/Amiga traffic should go here.

net.micro.atari	For both toy and Jackintosh Atari traffic -- currently
		mostly Jackintosh.

net.micro.amiga	For the Amiga only.

net.micro.cbm	should be for non-Amiga Commodores only, but people
		are posting Amiga stuff there anyway.  I recommend
		reading the newsgroup until people finger it out,
		but not posting anything there.  ["cbm" stands for
		Commodore Business Machines.]

net.sources	For sources for any machine.  Don't post (or cross-post)
		sources to any of the above groups.  There is a
		net.sources.mac which is for posting Mac binaries -- a habit
		that I'd like to strongly discourage, now that we have
		a variety of Mac-like machines that don't run each others'
		binaries.  Source, or nothing, please!

They're off! -- and may the best machine* win!			*or machines
