- As one of the supporters of the comp.sys.mac.powerbook group, I would have
- no problem with a mac.laptop group. My main objective is to limit the
- posts that must be sifted through to get to articles of interest to
- Mac portable users. My experience is that if you are away from the Net
- for a few days, sometimes a few hours, mountains of posts accumulate. By
- the time many people sift through the articles it is easy to miss posts
- in the area of concern. I prefer a title of powerbook, but would be
- receptive to laptop. Symantics is less important to me than results.
