What say we make it "comp.sys.apple2.tech"? Would keep the number of Mac users to a minimum... Might cause some confusion vs comp.sys.apple, but I'm not sure how the net.gods would feel about that. >+--------------+-------------------------+ >| Cary Farrier | farrier@apple.com | >+--------------+-------------------------+ -- fadden@cory.berkeley.edu (Andy McFadden) ...!ucbvax!cory!fadden

One thing I don't understand; if the problem with this newsgroup is that people post essays on Apple marketing and trivial questions, things that are not consistant with the theme of the newsgroup, how is making another newsgroup with a different name going to keep them from doing the same thing there? - Phil Albro -

The only "theme" of comp.sys.apple is that the articles should relate to the Apple II product line. The creation of comp.sys.apple2.tech would create a newsgroup whose theme is apple II technical information, and comp.sys.apple would be for apple II general information. > >- Phil Albro - Cary Farrier -- +------------------------------------+ | #include "All.Standard.Disclaimers"| +------------------------------------+
