You and me both (one-quarter ;-)).
I don't like 'wizards' much; it's not very descriptive.

How about

comp.graphics.tools - for XXX-to-YYY converters, software product
                      recommendations, etc.

comp.graphics.hardware - "Which VGA should I buy" questions, etc.

comp.graphics.theory - RTNEWS [VERY valuable], Q&A about *techniques*
                       as opposed to products, latest info on the
                       DECWRL archive

comp.graphics.images - where to get images, etc.

[ this is fun!  how about `talk.graphics', where we can discuss
  the relative merits of SciVi, Virtual Reality, Cyberspace,...

  naaah.  :-)]
