Also, the misc.forsale.computers group has already split, and it's group for
the pc/ibm-pc/x86/pc-clone/whatever is misc.forsale.computers.pc-clone

We might want to concider keeping consistency across all the computer related
newsgroups and use the pc-clone moniker.  FYI, I liked the idea of using
pc-clone BEFORE I noticed the split in m.f.c had used it.
