It would be neat if there were some quick & easy way to screen out GS articles
for those who don't want them (e.g. "GS" in the title).  Since most GS owners
are probably interested in the //ec+ discussions, the creation of a new group
would be primarily for the covnenience of //ec+ owners.

I find it interesting that 90% of the non-GS articles the past two days are
from people wanting to split into two groups... there really hasn't been that
much traffic for standard IIs.

If the //gs weren't so painful to use in native mode, the traffic for //ec+
would probably be close to zero.


APDA is dead!?!  The first time I wrote to Apple for technical info (a while
back...) it took them two months to figure out what I wanted, and they
didn't get it quite right.  The next time was a little better, but they were
still a bit confused...  This was 2-3 years ago, so hopefully they've
improved some.


Sometimes the //gs reminds me of the PC Jr.  Less powerful than a Mac, but
still trying to be one.  There were rumors that the "chicklet" keyboard was
an attempt to keep the lower-priced Jr. out of the office; it wound up
hurting it badly.  65816 anyone? :-)
