I agree.  Comp.sys.hp48 looks like a very good suggestion to me.  I will
still read both groups, since I am interested in other handhelds beside
my HP48, but I think the new arrangement would benefit all the users
of this group.  It gives us a forum for HP48 discussions, while leaving
a general group for discussion of other handhelds.  If we do consent to the split, we should be sure and leave frequent pointers (in the F.A.Q, perhaps) to the new group.
