This split sounds much more reasonable than the previous proposal.
We then could let each group expand as/when it felt the need to.

I would like to know the difference between a "handheld" and a
"calculator" though.  Would it perhaps be worthwhile to add
one additional group:
      comp.sys.organizers

Whatever the outcome of the vote, I hope the mailing list will 
remain in service, particularly for my favorite machine: HP48.
For, at the end of this month, my only access will be through
the mailing list.
