Jim - 

I don't think the formation of Comp.Sys.[Tandy].Coco is exactly the
right choice either.. while most of the affected posters seem to be
coco users, the bulk of the postings are *OS9* related .. I save all
this stuff (and gateway it to CIS as well), and can assure you that
very little traffic pertaining to RS-DOS has been taking place,
regardless of what Mr. Tilenius (sp?) would have us believe. It
appears that OS9 is the common denominator - not simply coco or coco3.
I acknowledge that some of this stuff *is* coco specific, because of
the windowing support etc., but this is still os9. I move that we
leave the newsgroups alone (give the net.gods a break), and better
utilize comp.os.os9 (perhaps get it un-moderated, as John seems to
have fallen asleep 8^}) and comp.sys.m6809. By the way, what *was* the
original objection to leaving things status quo?

BTW - I am a coco3 owner (2 of them), as well as 5 coco2's, and a
rather beefy GIMIX.. just so you're aware that I'm not being a coco
bigot.
