[...follow up to my posting(s) of last week...] I've already received two responses by e-mail from the nice folks from Apollo (thanks guys...it *IS* appreciated) as well as several from USENET at large. Keep those cards and letters coming in. I'll summarize to the net in a week or so. One new item for thought: Is it time to think about breaking up comp.sys.apollo into several groups ??? I was thinking something like the follows under the general comp.sys.apollo group: - sr9.x stuff - sr10.x stuff - bugs/apr's/general problems *THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR VOTES FOR NEW GROUPS !!* I just wanted to see if there *might* be enough interest out there about this topic. Also, since the ADUS BBS node is supposed to get USENET in the future, we might be able to add some local groups on that node as an alternative ??? Any ideas ??? -- Vince Skahan - please reply to skahan@boeing.com or bcsaic!psev!bcs212 Note: any comments expressed above are mine and have no relation to Boeing or the real nice folks who let me read news on their system...

I guess I'd rather see the group stay in one place, unless there is a clamor for a spot to post sources, which can sometimes be irritating if mixed in with general conversation (although it doesn't irritate me!) What do people think of source postings in this group? There have been several things I was interested in posting, but didn't for fear of reprisals. (: Paul Anderson CAEN

(: > > Paul Anderson > CAEN I agree with you, Paul, that there seems to be little need to break up the group, with two possible exceptions: 1) a sub-group for discussing the future of developments/ software support/ hardware support after the HP takeover, and 2) sources, which should go to comp.sources.apollo (maybe). Occasional source listings might infuriate those who read the news via mail, which does not warn you that you are about to read a 4,000 line message! -- ___________________ Darryl C.
