I really don't care to read about for-sale postings for Atari, Commodore, etc., which I don't own. Most of the time I don't care to read for-sale postings for Macintosh, either; they clutter up comp.sys.mac. Why not put them in a nice area where I can find them if I want them without having to sift through either of the more general groups? Seems uncommonly common-sense to me. If anyone is counting, you may consider this a YES vote for creating misc.forsale.mac -- Linc Madison = e118-ak@euler.berkeley.edu "Folk wisdom: never judge a man until you have danced in his spike heels."
