[net.unix-wizards] Is this net.vax-wizards or net.unix-wizards?

adjg@neology.OZ (Andrew Gollan) (08/16/85)

There seem to be a lot of people who think that UN*X only runs on DEC
hardware.  Once apon a time that was true. Will someone please create a
newsgroup along the lines of net.dec or net.vax or somwthing so that
people interested in UN*X don't have to wear out the 'n' key on their
terminals skipping the hardware related junk.

net.unix-wizards is so close to being net.unix-bozos anyway that I know
many people that have ceased reading it anyway. It needs its volume cut
down somewhat.

There was an INFO-VAX but it was dominated by VMS discussions.
With 20/20 hindsight, we now know what all these groups should
have been named.  Too late now..

net.unix
net.unix.wizards
net.unix.vax
net.unix.68000
net.unix.micro (or net.micro.unix?)
net.unix.name-your-own

How about a net.micro.wizards?
