Sure why not? then when the comp.graphics regulars get tired of reading about
CAD, then we will have an excuse to start a new newsgroup.

Some Background on what I use CAD for:
I am using AutoCAD R10 on a Compaq-386/20 running on MSDOS that is running
under InterActive Unix (is that complex or what?). It flies. I am using
the Paradise-16 VGA card, and have no problems.

I do electrical drafting, some artwork for business presentations, and
diagrams for user manuals.

Why don't we start an alt.CAD newsgroup? Does anyone know how to go about
doing so? and how to get the distribution going? I know you don't have to
go through standard channels to start an Alt group, since it is carried 
only by sites that request it.

the only problem would be convincing every site between all of us to carry it.
