"crap, yourself, bozo" (yes, I have lost my composure now) alt.whatever is not the place to discuss computer hard/software *.misc groups, in contrast, were created EXACTLY for the purpose of discussing machines/topics which do not have their private group.

Please only post to that group. If you do not recieve alt groups, perhaps it is time to have a talk with your sysadmin. --Rob. Robert Silvers. Bush for President. Box #1003 University of Lowell.

Some of us don't receive alt groups for a good reason: we don't have huge amounts of disk space, and we have to cut back somewhere, and alt groups are the first groups that go. This NeXT discussion is about technical aspects of a new computer and I think it belongs in comp.sys.next. Am I missing something?

When I posted that, there was no comp.sys.misc. It was formed the next day, and some people got my message after comp.sys.next reached their site. I also did not realize that so many people did not get alts. Please dont waste any more bandwith on this subject. Comp.sys.next is here and alt.next is old news. --Rob. Robert Silvers.
