Several new groups are needed and several old groups should be renamed:

net.micro.cbm   should be net.micro.cbm8  for Commodore 8 bit machines
net.micro.amiga should be net.micro.cbm16 for Commodore 16 bit machines
net.micro.atari should be split into
			  net.micro.atari8 for Atari 8 bit machines
			  net.micro.atari16 for Atari 16 bit machines

Similarly if either Commodore or Atari come out with 32 bit machines, then new
subgroups could be established.  ST and Amiga are too specific names, a more
general generic name should be established so that if Atari or Commodore come
out with new 16 bit machines with different names, the catagories would still
be appropriate.
