Apparently here we have a need for a new newsgroup mebbe? net.micro.os9 or whatever? I believe that the fundamental conditions are there, 1. There is a substantial amount of traffic concerning os9 in micro.6809 and micro.68k and even in micro.amiga etc. 2. Apparently, some people are upset that we are discussing the os that allows us to run progs from PDP-11's, VAXes, CRAY-2's etc. on our "toy" computers WITHOUT MODIFICATION! within "THEIR" newsgroups. This would seem to establish the "need" for such a newsgroup. However, with all the noise in news.group lately about .bizzare and .internat, I am reluctant to create more noise in that group. I am not totally cognizant of the procedures used to start a vote, and so I will mail a copy of this to spaf@gatech and see if he thinks it might be worthwhile. Meanwhile I'll hide behind my flame-retardant force field. Chris Coffin ihnp4!mot!coffin seismo!ut-sally!oakhill!mot!coffin Disclaimer: I'm the urban spaceman baby, here comes the twist...
