[Werner Uhrig wails (and not alone!) about the unwieldy number of posts here,
 and asks for suggestions of sub-group names]

I agree wholeheartedly. It's very frustrating to be away from the computer
for a couple of days, come back, and find "274 unread messages." Those of
us who like to stay well-informed about Macintosh affairs are simply forced
to sacrifice information, for lack of time to read it. As far as sub-groups,
how about:

comp.sys.mac.software

	(articles about programs, bugs, bombs, compatibility, "when will)
	(it be out" and "how do I do that" questions, etc....		)

comp.sys.mac.hardware

	(articles about hard disks, chips, internal drives, AppleTalk 	)
	(hookups, twitching displays, etc...				)

comp.sys.mac.general

	(everything else, including griping about Apple's policies,     )
	(stuff for sale, viruses, marketing issues, etc...		)

I don't really think there's enough stuff "for sale" on comp.sys.mac to
warrant a separate newsgroup, though.
