While I do agree with the original idea. (I can get sick of wading through
endless TIFF requests.) I do NOT think that separate newsgroups would be a
good idea.  Part of the idea of having one comp.graphics is everyone
interested in the field can hear about a wide range of different machines
and ideas, from lowly PCs to super fast (and expensive) IRIS and PIXAR
beasties.  The current machine specific groups are better suited to handling
machine specific questions, even if those groups are loaded to the gills
already.  Anyway, 'nuff said.
