I'd vote for either of them. The second is better though, because it naturally allows for comp.sys.mac.vs.amiga and similar groups. I'd rather just shoot the evangelists who feel that this newsgroup is advertising space for their favorite machine, be it NeXT or Amiga or the Belchfire 2000, but I imagine that is against the law. I don't have the money or the inclination to get a NeXT just yet, but if I did I'd be looking in a comp.sys.next.* newsgroup for any and all information on that box. But then, I suppose that just proves how stupid my brain is, thinking that the usenet heirarchy meant much of anything to anyone. Maybe the trick is that I should be reading comp.sys.next.misc for information on Macs? Garance_Drosehn@mts.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY. USA
