I disagree here.  There is little in comp.sys.ibm.pc that would disappear
into comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d.  The new group is only going to clean up 
.binaries.

Once again, yes to splitting comp.sys.ibm.pc.

I previously posted: dont talk, just vote YES.

This was less than sensible!

We need a well thought out structure here to categorize the overwhelming
volume in comp.sys.ibm.pc.

How about  ".hw", ".dos", ".applications" and ".misc"?
