	NO!  NO!  and again NO!  That would deprive non-Mac game-owners of
the input from Mac players of games that span systems.  Further, I think it
would be a highly underused group, particularly based on the volume of
rec.games.misc (which, IMHO, needs to be re-done for computer games...maybe
something like rec.comp.games, but that is another subject.)

	Due to the fact that most games are ported to many computers, I
think that a computer-specific games group is not a good idea at all.
(I'm not sure that games fit under apps anyway...rec yes, applications
no--show me a game that helps you turn in a thesis paper... (-8 )

just my two power-pellets,
austin
