[comp.sys.next] Yet another suggestion for splitting up comp.sys.next

asmith@questor.wimsey.bc.ca (Adam Smith) (01/20/91)

I would like to revive the debate over splitting up comp.sys.next into some 
different areas. With the availability of the slab and the 040 upgrade for 
the cube and the imminent release of the colour slab, it seems to me that we 
could do with two groups--perhaps comp.sys.next.programmers and 
comp.sys.next.users.
The number of postings here can rapidly get out of hand, and there is a lot 
of info that will go over the heads of NeXT _users_ (as opposed to those who 
deal with their NeXT on a more in depth level).
I think that we are going to see more and more users who will want to talk 
about the NeXT in much more general terms--at least I hope so. This will 
herald the beginning of the NeXT as a true platform, as opposed to a bunch 
of individuals working on a small group of "custom" computers.
I'd like to see this move to create a community of NeXT users happen in 
advance of it becoming a desperate need, not in response.
