I disagree with the net.micro.mac idea.  I just feel that
creating sub-groups of the same company is a waste of resources.
Let each computer manufacturer have a sub-group.  Now that the
builder field is in the process of being weeded out, this should
keep the number of groups down.  

Do it like this:

Net.micro
Net.micro.ibm
Net.micro.com
Net.micro.ata
Net.micro.ti
Net.micro.app
Net.micro.whoever
Etc. Etc.

The only wading through articles you will need is at least
in the same ballpark.  Don't create separate little niches
for every piece of equipment that falls off the truck.  Keep
the same manufacturers together in one place.
