$OK, it's January 1. I'll be calling for votes for comp.sys.ibm.pc.something
$on January 9th. So far the following suggestions have been made:
$	comp.sys.ibm.pc.tech
$	comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer
$	comp.os.msdos

   How will this group differ from alt.msdos.programmer, other than wider
distribution?  (which leads to the related question - why wasn't a.m.p
set up as a comp group in the first place?)

   My personal preference there would be for the .programmer name, since
it is supposed to focus on programming the PC.  However, the name does
leave open the possibility of programming under any other OS or environment
for the PC, and I'm sure some such questions would come up.

   There ... my $0.0172 or so worth ($0.02 Canadian)
