I agree on the urgency of getting comp.sys.be, but it is probably a
bad idea to use alt.sys.be as a transitional group.  Moving a topic to
another newsgroup is always very difficult.  I'm willing to bet that
there will be stray Be postings on comp.sys.powerpc for months if not
years after comp.sys.be is created.  alt.sys.be would just create more
confusion needlessly.

Comp.sys.be will exist by the time the machine is released; I think
that's good enough.  IMHO, the Be traffic on comp.sys.powerpc has
degenerated greatly; there will not be much more useful information
anywhere on Usenet until more people get their hands on the machine.
