I don't agree at all.  I'm a devoted embedded systems creature, I've made
a living at it for a number of years.  The comp.realtime appears to have
a slant towards some particular equipment, perhaps to the detriment of the
group itself.  I think that we (embedded system people) can fit very nicely
into that group and maybe ventilate it a bit for the overall benefit.  I'll
concede that real time systems aren't always embedded, but every embedded
system I've worked with was real time.  I don't see enough difference to
separate the two groups.
