- The difference is that the others who are wondering about this are not
- as clueless as you are and they know that comp.lang.c is not the only
- newsgroup in the comp hierarchy.

- If an article is "off the topic" it SHOULD not be posted here, no matter how
- many millions of people might be interested. If there are several
- thousands of Usenet newsgroups, there must be a reason.

- How about having a look at the comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.* newsgroups
- and selecting the ones which are relevant for your questions?
