Well, I'd call the binary postings near-useless no matter what machine
you have, but I'm one of the old "gotta have the sources" types...
If you are concerned about fun things like viruses, there is good reason
for this attitude, mind you.

The bulk of the source postings are more or less machine-independent.

I'd say put the binaries in comp.binaries.ibm.pc or comp.binaries.atari.st;
that's where they belong, since the groups are *not* named c.b.msdos or
c.b.tos.  The rest can stay here for now.
