Take two *separate* votes on procedural grounds. Vote 1: Change name from Comp.Sys.Apple ==> Comp.Sys.Apple2 (probably less controversial, short time period) Vote 2: Create Comp.Sys.Apple2.Tech (probably more controversial, longer time period & timed to be after exams and vacation) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Todd A.

Note that a new twist has appeared with regard to creation of new groups.
Within the _21_ days of voting permitted, to get a new group you need a) 100
more yes than no votes AND b) 2/3 of the votes need to be yes. In the past, I
found it tough just to get a - I couldnt find 100 folks to vote yes for
comp.binaries.apple2 !!!! But if you folks decide to conduct a vote on this
some day, let us know.
