We host a large international mailing list for NCR Tower users that that wishes to convert to the newsgroup "comp.sys.ncr". The proposed newsgroup will be for discussion of NCR computing products, including the NCR Tower family. This is a call for discussion to create that group. -- Greg Hackney Southwestern Bell Telephone Co., Dallas hack@texbell.swbt.com

My primary home computer, as well as one of those I am currently working on for hire, is an NCR. Seeing as how I might be able to gain useful information from such a group, I'ld give a nod in favor of comp.sys.ncr. I'm just not going to jump up and down and cheer for it, nor flame those opposed to it. I guess that I'm not a good whiz-bang hacker. :-) (Though I do tend to be a power user.) > Yet we have a very active mailing list, > including many sites that have no connection to USENET. I am interested, where do I go to sign up? Paul J. Mech oucsace.cs.OHIOU.EDU!deadpup!paul uiucuxc!oucs!oucsace!deadpup!paul { CAUTION: some reply generated paths end on oucsace and are lost. }
