The name > comp.tech.apple2 is short and concise. Or, to take this to an extreme, since everyone seems to want to do something about this: comp.apple2 comp.apple2.tech Those names are short and descriptive and have a hierarchy also. Can we please stop flippin' out over the names already and decide to form the new group? For what it's worth, I favor a technically oriented Apple II newsfeed, and I also favor the names I just proposed to keep everyone happy. If rename comp.sys.apple to comp.apple2, folks will finally stop posting stuff meant for the Macintosh onto our feed, taking up unnecessary bandwidth, and those folks whose news software automatically scans feeds by hierarchy will still be able to read the normal group first and then the tech group. And, those poor souls who don't like banging on their keyboard won't have to type "comp.sys.apple2.tech" andy -- Andy Nicholas GEnie, AM-Online: shrinkit Box 435, Moravian College CompuServe: 70771,2615 Bethlehem, PA 18018 InterNET: shrinkit@moravian.edu
