Probably the boundaries are crystal clear. Either you have a i386
or you have not.

But what is rock'n'roll? What is not? Do we all agree on what is
rock'n'roll? Or could be that some people think that Madonna, that's
rock'n'roll, while others object heavilly and say "Madonna!!! that's
not rock'n'roll, that's disco junk!" Or what about an artist like
Frank Zappa that does both rock, jazz and classic?

It turned out that it was even impossible to keep out questions about
CD releases from r.m.misc, despite the existence of r.m.cd. So what
about rock/not rock, a line that is much less clear-cut?

Realize Peter, music is not like computers.
