     OK guys and girls, how about this for an idea. How about a news group that
has a list of _all_ mac programs. Included will be the program title, author,
what it is, and the current version number. There won't be any reviews
of products (hopefully no flame wars about which program is better).
I think it would be great to have such a list. It would be great for checking
current version numbers, what is available, etc. We should keep the list free
of personal comments; leave any discussion to this group. It would just be
an unbiased list. Well, what do you think? Too much? Already tried? Already
done? Dumb idea? Get back to work?

Paul
