I find that about 1 in 30 or so articles in comp.sys.ibm.pc has
something relevant for me - stuff about programming for PC compatibles.

All the stuff about monitors, ega cards, hard disks, etc., etc., is
worthless to me, but I must wade through it all for the occasional
worthwhile tid-bit about a MSC bug or getting around problems with
PROGRAMMING the machine.

I don't know who is responsible for such things, but it seems what
is really needed is a comp.sys.ibm.pc.programming or .tech or whatever
it should be called. Maybe if there is enough positive response, the
powers that be will create such a group and a lot of us can quit wasting
time with 30 or 40 articles a day that don't help much.

Comments???
