I like reading this group, but it has too much traffic. It is hard
to read the stuff of interest between all the messages asking for
advice on what hard disk and/or computer to buy. Therefore
I propose that it be split into about 10 groups. Here is a 
suggested list, off the top of my head.

	comp.sys.mac.disks
	comp.sys.mac.memory
	comp.sys.mac.utilities
	comp.sys.mac.wordp-and-DTP
	comp.sys.mac.graphics
	comp.sys.mac.for-sale
	comp.sys.mac.misc
	comp.sys.mac.questions
	comp.sys.mac.DAs-and-INITS 
	comp.sys.macII

I don't know how to do this, but one method might be to
take a vote on whether to split the group, and, if that
passes, vote on how many groups to split it into, and
then have people vote for n subgroups out of m>n proposed
subgroups. I don't know enough about how USENET is run
to know whether this is feasible.

A couple of unrelated questions (unrelated to the above
and to each other):

1. Where can I get a copy of  binhex 4.0?
2. Has anyone a definitive list of ftp sites?
