I would not like to see a games only group, or any other new groups yet.
I don't even play games, but I have 2 kids who do.  comp.sys.amiga is
pretty much the only way I learn about new games.  When a new game appears,
I look at a few postings to see itf it looks interesting.  This has lead to
the purchase of various games for birthday gifts, etc.

Similiarly, I have learned of a number of new products this way.  I probably
would never have bought amigaTEX except for the consistant high praise for
it here on the net.  (Seems stange to say this in retrospect, after using it-
how could anyone get by without it?)

I would much rather have everything together in one place (well, two: .tech),
skim the headers and read the 10 or so articles a day that look interesting,
depending on what I had for breakfast or some other changeable parameter.
