Probably requires a moderator. games -- this works pretty good now. graphics -- Great. misc -- Why not? reviews -- Good Idea. Probably requires a moderator. Approve with reservations: futures -- Something must be done against "vapour" hardware -- This should be the area where the hardware junkies can sniff the solder flux. help -- Call it "questions". In line with comp.unix.questions multimedia -- If you do combine video, and verbal though, it'd be good. music -- Not only MIDI. productivity -- Call it "tools". Productivity's been given a bad name. software -- Perhaps it should be called "programmer" tech -- Discussion of the operating system and standard facilities. unix -- Inappropriate.
