I've just come from the first meeting of a new Bell Labs club for TI-99 computer users/owners. The meeting was very busy and full of good info on hardware and software. The question came up of communicating to users at other sites and permanently recording info for those who can't attend every meeting. The proposed solution was to set up a news net for TI-99 users which received a unanimous yes vote from all in attendance. Can we have some more votes from the net? Those in favor so far are: Marge Stadler BTL - MO Bob Giovine BTL - WH Pat Highland BTL - WH Jan Sussman BTL - WH Ronnie Schoenhaar BTL - WH Kim DiGaetano BTL - WH Stan Rogacki BTL - MO Gerrie Hendricks BTL - WH Dick Kovacs BTL - WH Joe McGhee BTL - WH Ed Bresnowitz BTL - WH Ahda Sipos BTL - WH Khoi T. Vu BTL - MO John B. Koch BTL - WH Ray Persaud BTL - WH Fred B. Koch BTL - WH Guy Lynott BTL - WH Thanks, bonnie!jmm

I don't think you should create net.micro.ti99. Try using
net.micro (since it already exists) before creating your
own group. If the traffic becomes heavy then consider creating
your own group.
I don't have anything against a TI-99 group IF there is enough
traffic to warrant it.

net.micro.ti99 has been proposed. One more time, folks: when the volume of traffic on ti99 becomes an aggravation for the readers of group, THEN it becomes time to create a new group. So far, the volume (in net.micro) has been so minimal that I have not even noticed it - except the three messages proposing the new group. For now, use net.micro. I don't see any point in getting into a lengthy discussion about this either - when net.micro readers start bitching, make the group. Mats

if you REALLY want net.micro.ti99, why don't you just take over and use
some other high volume newsgroups like net.micro.zx (how many of you
remember that there is even a group by that name, and when the last article
was posted to it?) I'm sure nobody would try to stop you, and almost nobody
would even notice...
