I personally can't see it being likely - >the current group seems to do for all sorts of stuff quite happily. In my opinion adverts should not be allowed in uk.comp.sys.mac. Furthermore I would be against uk.adverts.computer.mac. Much of the stuff for sale in uk.adverts.computer works perfectly well in Mac computers such as IDE and SCSI hard drives, RAM, some CD-Rom titles which have MAC and PC games on the same disc, some zip drives, modems and most monitors etc etc. Also, I believe, with some of the Mac compatible computers, they even have PS/2 connectors for PC keyboards and mice. It doesn't make any sense to separate the Mac in this way. Simon.
