Since the general sentiment seems to be in favor of a comp.sys.ibm.pc.tech
group, I would be glad to collect votes to see if we can collect the
required minimum.

In summary:

	comp.sys.ibm.pc.tech would be a technical newsgroup devoted to
	dicussion of issues of importance to *programmers* of
	IBM PC/AT/PS2 computers and compatibles.  This is analogous
	to the comp.sys.mac.programmers group for Mac people.

When you vote, indicate any naming preference.  Personally, I would
prefer comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmers, since it's more specific.  However,
discussion seems to have indicated comp.sys.ibm.pc.tech

E-mail to the signature address, or to gary@apexepa.uucp if you have a
smarter mailer.

I will summarize progress.
