From reading this group, you would think it's the only one that
exists for the IBM PC.

  My suggestion is that we split it into several groups:

     1.  comp.sys.ibmpc.turboc
     2.  comp.sys.ibmpc.os2
     3.  comp.sys.ibmpc.turbopascal
     4.  comp.sys.ibmpc.applications
     5.  comp.sys.ibmpc.hardwarwe
     6.  comp.sys.ibmpc.clones

  I don't know.  Maybe these groups stink.  Any other suggestions?
