Splitting the group is not a good idea.  Those of us who enjoy reading both
types of discussions will lose and so will the rest of you because some 
possibly interesting discussions will not be seen.  The only solution is to
modify your subject line with PC/AMIGA/ATARI or whatever people are using.

BTW since the majority of readers of this group are PC users and PC's 
represent the largest percentage of micros world wide, why should we leave?
Why not kick out the few whining AMIGA/ATARI/COMMODORE users...  Face it 
folks you are out numbered and your opinions mean squat.  The majority rules
in all situations.  I am not saying that PC's are the only or the best choice
for game programming (they are NOT) but they are where the REAL money is
right now and money speaks.  The more money to be made the more popular the
platform will become.  Game companies are pumping out new products fast and
furious and the PC is one of the major targets...

Instead of wasting valuable bandwidth flaming each other lets get on with
the discussions be they hardware related or not.  Take a few minutes to 
learn about kill files and stop whining...  You know who you are...
