- I think that the sub-divisions should be:
-
- 1) Motherboards -> Processor / memory / caching / bios / buss
- 2) Video -> cards / monitors / digitizing or pass through video
- 3) Mass storage -> Hard / floppy / controllers / Worm / CD-rom
- 4) Interface -> Mouse / keyboard / serial / parallel
- 5) Other -> Sound cards / instrumentation / midi
-
- At the very least, comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc should be turned into
- comp.sys.ibm.pc.help (ie immediate help or information needed).
- This would free up c.s.i.h for our regular lofty discussions... :)
