Actually, a survey was taken two years ago, to see whether the readers of comp.sys.apollo wanted to see product announcements, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Someone at Apollo posted the announcements regularly for about a year. They left the company around the time of the HP acquisition, and nobody ever picked it up. It is not an abuse of Usenet if the readers want it! See Sun-spots (aka comp.sys.sun) for example. =brian brian@ima.isc.com US 617-661-7474 x206 near the last bend in the Charles River
