I am enjoying all this NeXT discussion quite a bit -- it's one more
reason there's nothing quite like Usenet.  But as matters stand right
now there are about 6-10 separate discussions taking place cross-posted
to 4 or more newsgroups, all under one Subject: line!  This plays havoc
with newsreaders, both in the software and human sense.

I suggest we move everything to comp.sys.misc for now, and edit our subject
lines to reflect what we're ACTUALLY talking about, e.g.:

	NeXT - chip cramming
	NeXT - educational/public pricing
	NeXT - optical drive pro/con
	NeXT - what about MACH?

etcetera.  Please take a moment to think about this suggestion and (I
hope) comply for the sake of net.sanity.

Btw the volume of discussion on this machine (if it keeps up), coupled
with NeXT's apparent academic targeting, make it seem real likely to me
that comp.sys.next is inevitable sooner or later.  We can make the best
case for the newsgroup by focusing everything in one group like
comp.sys.misc -- the regulars of which will then become comp.sys.next's
biggest boosters! :-)
