I suggest that we hold a double vote, similar to the one that was recently
held in rec.games.video.  I propose that we vote separately for the
creation of two groups:

comp.sys.handhelds.hp48            for the discussion of the hp48 and
                                   related HP calculators

como.sys.handhelds.msdos           for the discussion of MS-DOS handhelds

The two votes are completely independent, and are only being handdled at
the same time to get everything over with as soon as possible.

If there is sufficient support for a separate hp48 group, one will be
created.  If there is sufficient support for a separate MS-DOS group, one
will be created.

No matter what, we can stop discussing the vote and get back to exchanging
useful information again.

In case anyone is concerned that holding two independent votes at one time
might be a problem with the net.gods, the rec.games.video vote passed
(creating rec.games.video.arcade).
